Packing for Camp
Packing for Camp
Please review the Winnebago Packing List for clothing and equipment required for camp. Clothing may be purchased wherever you wish but for convenience, we have provided a link to our recommended outfitter, The Camp Spot. Much more information about uniforms, packing guidelines and helpful hints can be found in your 2024 Parent Handbook.
International Campers: To help lighten the load, we provide towels and sleeping bags for international campers during the summer.
Shipping Bags to Camp: Bags may be shipped to camp via UPS, Fedex or Parcel Post and should be scheduled to arrive 2-3 days before your son arrives at camp. For those living on the East Coast, we ask that you use Camp Baggage. From this link you can download an enrollment form for submission by mail or enroll online.

Summer Medications: In order to provide the safest, most reliable and efficient way to dispense regularly prescribed medications during the summer, Camp Winnebago works with Walgreens in Manchester, Maine. When submitting prescriptions make sure to note “Save for Winnebago” on the form.
Phone calls: Please see our guidelines on telephone calls.
“My 10 years at Winnebago, five as a camper and five as a counselor, played an outsized role in my life. Those 10 years—really only 20 months—were very important in shaping the whole rest of my life. My guess is that I am not alone among Winnebago alumni in feeling that way.”
– Andy, Camper/Counselor
