Okay . . . if you’re like me you’ll appreciate having a nice checklist to help ensure you don’t miss anything when packing for camp. I will post the list I use when I’m getting ready (and I DO start my packing a week early … it helps me feel less stressed the day I leave for camp).  After you read the list … if you find something missing … email me and I will add it to the list and perhaps have some extra Chicken-Feed waiting at camp for you in return for your helpfulness!

Here’s the list … hope it helps:

  1. Computer – laptop or desktop…either is fine!
    If desktop…be sure to bring all the cords, the mouse, and keyboard!  :-)
  2. Photos (digital preferably)
  3. Your digital camera (both camps…you’ll want it along! trust me!)
    Bring the charger and the download cord/devise too!
  4. Thumb drive (we have files we’ll give you if you have one of these along . . . )
  5. Mousepad!!!!!
  6. Your favorite note-taking pen
  7. A 3-ring binder with printed copies of the tutorials we’ll be emailing you the week before camp
  8. Inspirational books and/or magazines with your name on them (for sharing during the weekend)
  9. Completed projects – pages, books, custom printed items … anything! We LOVE show & tell time!
  10. OPTIONAL (but very fun!) – bring your ATCs (Artist Trading Card)
    If you don’t have one yet, click HERE to learn more.
  11. Comfy clothes – Our campers agree that comfort is KEY and they suggest you chose things you can layer! Sometimes our group will generate so much heat you may want to be able to shed a few layers! It’s crazy what happens when you get that many computers and that many women in a room together!
  12. A warm pair of slippers (again pretty isn’t key…comfy and warm is! you may get a burst of inspired energy and want to stay up through the night…you’ll want your feet to be happy!)
  13. Personal hygiene items…toothbrush, hairbrush, face lotion, your favorite shampoo/conditioner etc
    NOTE: Hair dryers, body soap, and lotion are provided
  14. Charger for your cell phone (?) – (just don’t forget to take it back home with you!)
  15. Your vitamins / medications you may need
  16. A well-rested YOU!

That’s about it! Most campers arrive carrying a small overnight bag and their laptop … talk about EASY! See you soon?
