Camp Attire & Personal Items

All campers should wear comfortable clothing each day. Campers should wear athletic shoes (no sandals, open toed shoes, or flip-flops). Campers are not permitted to bringing personal items such as electronics, toys or items of value. The Hempfield Township Parks and Recreation Department is not responsible for loss or damage to personal items brought to camp. 



Sun Protection

Because camp activities are outdoors, your child is at risk for sunburn. Campers should arrive at camp with sunscreen already applied, as well as with additional sunscreen. We recommend campers use sunscreen with a SPF of at least 30.
