Pack once, play all day

A great camp day starts with a well-packed bag. Whistler weather can swing from cool mountain mornings to hot afternoons, so a few smart choices keep your camper comfortable from drop-off to pick-up.

The daily essentials

  • Layers — a warm top for the morning, a t-shirt for the afternoon.
  • Sunscreen and a hat — applied before camp, packed for top-ups.
  • A full water bottle — labelled with your child’s name.
  • Snacks and a packed lunch — active kids get hungry!
  • Closed-toe shoes — plus a spare pair of socks.

Don’t forget

If there’s water on the schedule, pack a swimsuit, towel and a change of clothes in a separate bag. And label everything — the lost-and-found fills up fast at a busy camp.

Not sure what your child’s program needs day to day? Our team is always happy to help — just ask at drop-off or drop us a line before camp starts.
