[@kirakelley9817]

dude last summer was my first year as a CILT (same as CIT) and it was life-changing, hands-down the best two weeks of my life. I met incredible people as well as spent time with the same people I grew up with, and even fell in love. it's wild that I spend all year waiting for this time but damn it's worth it. you'll be old enough before you know it! there are no words for how special it is to see camp from a different perspective. everything you don't like as a camper you'll love as a CIT. sorry this comment is so long, but let me know if you have any questions or anything because I'm always down to talk about camp :))

[@graceembervalley906]

My favorite camp is camp Bonnie brae I will be a CIT soon

[@meghanvannote27]

Haha try to roll your clothes instead of rolling! It will save you so much room!

Camp means everything to me

[@ceniloar]

my main tip for other camp counselors is to bring extra shoes and socks. especially socks

[@kaylatcompton]

Definitely! My socks got so dirty all the time!

[@shister_gacha8454]

Im a CIT and i swear someone just ate all my socks

[@miamichellrodriguez5139]

[@ciannacoleman5125]

I’m staffing BSA scout camp this summer for 5 weeks so trying to figure out the best tips and efficiency for packing so I have everything I need. I have done scout camp before but only for a week at a time. It is interesting seeing all the videos and tips for typical summer camps (not scouting) since they plan for a completely different vibe, but I’m getting tidbits to use for my camp too. I never knew how many people apparently travel quite a distance (sometimes over the Atlantic) to staff a summer camp.

[@kaylatcompton]

That’s exciting!

[@evamansfield6386]

This is so different to my packing for camp tho my camps are scout camps so I live in a sleeping bag and we’re not allowed shorts or jeans and no one brings pillows because they get ruined and we all just sleep in our clothes we also pretty much only wear walking boots (I’ve gone through 3 pairs) it is true that you can never have enough socks i once went to a 4 day camp and took 6 pairs of socks and didn’t have enough

[@kaylatcompton]

Very different!😂

[@meg.an0]

My camp is in July and it's January right now... Never too early to start packing

Never too early!

just wondering if you know where the backpack if from/ if you could let me know what type of bag it is, it would be greatly appreciated!!!

[@kaylatcompton]

It's a camera bag, I don't know where it's from or what kind I'm sorry :(

[@628kungfupanda]

you probably won't see this but I don't know about that camp you work at but I would recommend getting getting a pair of Chacos which are basically THE BEST shoe ever and lots of people use them. But I hope you enjoy your time at camp!! xoxo

[@kaylatcompton]

I've heard of those! A lot of people wear those or Teevas but I just stick with my tennis shoes, thank you though!

I'm still in the process of being placed as an international staff camp counsellor but I'm watching all these and its not for another 9 months! Looking at all the stuff you packed I'm wondering how to cut it down, given I'll be coming from Australia, any tips for international staff?
