Packing List

This packing list is based upon the experiences of generations of campers. It fits the needs of the boys and reflects the limited storage space available in our cabins. O-AT-KA will issue one camp t-shirt and a water bottle to each camper upon arrival. Camp shirts are worn for all inter-camp athletic matches. Additional camp shirts and clothing may be purchased through our Online Camp Store!

If you have questions about what items your son may and may not bring, consult the Parent Guidebook, or contact us.
