What To Bring
These are some of the things that we recommend you bring with you to camp. Please keep in mind that camp is not a place to show off your best outfits (it's camp!) We also request that all your clothes be modest (no short shorts or bare middrifts). Also keep in mind that this is Iowa--the weather you have at the start of camp is not always what you end up with. And sometimes it's chilly in the morning and at night. Bring both cool weather and warm weather clothing, as well as some rainy weather clothes.
