What to Pack for Girls Camp

Wondering what to pack for LDS Girls Camp? Whether you're a first-year camper, or a seasoned veteran that goes each year, having the right gear can make camp more enjoyable and less stressful.

In this guide, you'll find things a little bit different than the basics you've packed for years.  These items are tried and true to help you thrive not just survive being at Girls Camp.

I just got back from a week at Girls Camp!  I added it up and I've gone 7 times in the last 10 years.  That's a lot!  I'm practically an expert, just kidding. This year was the last time I'll be going for a while but I feel like it was a really good year to end on!  

This is a rough picture of me, but it's a pretty good example of what I felt like at camp.  It was hot.  It was chaotic.  It was busy.  There were lots of bugs.  There were lots of people.  There was lots of noise.  There weren't enough bathrooms.  There wasn't near enough sleep.  One thing that helps with all of that is taking the right things!  

What To Pack for Girls Camp

Somehow we managed to squeeze all 170 of us women/girls into 2 bathhouses.  I'm not sure how that works- I swear it's a loaves and fishes type miracle.

First, one of the best things that made showering a little bit easier was this toiletry bag.  I was able to fit all of my hygiene items into it and take it right into the shower with me.  I kept all of my showering essentials (like this little razor) in the bottom pouch.  

It folds in half and zips up to be compact for carrying and storage.  I was super happy hauling this toiletry bag around and it did everything I needed it to do!  

The very best thing I took with me to camp was a quick dry towel (similar to this one).  In tight quarters like the full bunk house I slept in means that towels have a tendency to stay wet.  This towel solves all of that!  I cannot recommend a quick dry towel enough!!  

Another very important thing at Girls Camp is footwear.  I cannot handle shoes and socks when it's hot so I'm always looking for a sandal of some sort. These shoes were perfect!  They are a sandal that can get wet, protects ones toes and were comfortable.  I put a lot of steps on these in the week of camp.  I was able to throw them in the washer when I got home and they are looking and smelling just fine!!   

Did I mention it was hot at Girls Camp?  Because it was very hot.  And since it rained almost every day it was also very humid.  Thankfully our cabins and mess hall had air conditioning, but it was still SOOOOO hot!  This rechargeable fan came in so handy.  (similar here)  It has multiple speeds, oscillates and telescopes up to be about the same height as me.  

I ended up sleeping on the top bunk of our set of beds without a plug near by.  My portable charger saved my bacon to help me charge my phone at night.  (Mine is an older version of this one)  I made sure the power bank was fully charged before going to camp.  It charged my phone every night and I only had to recharge the battery once.  I love this thing!  

Other great  items to take to camp

• Changing Tent  We lacked privacy for changing in our cabins.  This changing tent came in SO handy for all of us!

• Fanny Pack  I usually carry a backpack but this year decided to take a fanny pack for a test drive.  I kept my gum, chapstick, bug spray, small flashlight and hand sanitizer in this bag.  

• Small rug  This was also a new thing for me this year.  The cabins we stayed in were cement floor cabins.  They are dirty and gross.  Having a nice rug to stand on while changing clothes was so nice!  

• Shower shoes  I would not even consider stepping into a shower without shower shoes.  I used my old crocs, but wish I'd had some like these.  

• Plastic Totes  For the past several years I have taken all of my clothing and other items to camp in plastic totes.  They keep my clothes clean and easy to find.  Plastic totes are also perfect for keeping snacks safe from bugs.

As you finish packing for LDS Girls Camp, remember that the most important things you'll bring can't be packed in a duffel bag. A willing heart, a positive attitude, and a desire to grow closer to Jesus Christ will make your camp experience truly unforgettable. I hope this packing list helps you feel prepared, organized, and excited for everything camp has to offer. Save this guide for later, share it with a friend who's heading to camp, and have an amazing week making memories, building friendships, and strengthening your testimony.

 

Come Follow Me Free Printable Study Sheet for Genesis 5

If you're looking for a little scripture study help, this Come Follow Me Study Sheet Printable for Genesis 5, Moses 6 is perfect for you! 

What is Come Follow Me?

Several years ago, the leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints made an inspired change to how gospel doctrine is taught by shifting the focus of learning to be in the home instead of at church.  We use a Home Centered, Church Supported program called Come Follow Me. 

Come Follow Me is for anyone who wants to learn from the scriptures—individually, as a family, and in Church classes. If you haven’t studied the scriptures regularly in the past, this resource can help you get started. If you already have a good habit of scripture study, this resource can help you have more meaningful experiences.

I think it shows how much faith God has in each of us to be responsible for our own gospel learning.  We have been given tools that can give us daily opportunities to learn and to feel the spirit.  

Why Use a Study Sheet?

I have been making Come Follow Me printables for over 4 years.  Those printables have always had information taken directly from the Come Follow Me manual.  This year, I decided to make the printable differently, more like a study sheet.  This invites more than just reading, it invites writing things down and studying.  Whether you study alone, with family, or in a class, this succinct page with references and questions can help you:

• Remember key scriptures and themes

• Record impressions or promptings

• Track questions or thoughts to revisit later

• Keep a personal record of your spiritual growth

Come Follow Me Old Testament

In 2026 we are studying the Old Testament in the Bible.  I know we studied this 4 years ago, but the more we learn, the more we remember!   The manual states, In the Come Follow Me manual it tells us that when prophets of old spoke to their people they used the Old Testament.  And when Jesus Christ told the leaders of the Jews to “search the scriptures,” explaining that they “testify of me” (John 5:39), the scriptures He was talking about are the writings we call the Old Testament.  In other words, when you read the Old Testament, you’re reading words that have inspired, comforted, and encouraged people of God for literally thousands of years.  But can something that was written so long ago really help you find solutions to today’s problems? Yes, it can! Especially if you remember who the Old Testament is truly about.

Whatever challenges you and your family might be facing, the answer is always Jesus Christ. So to find answers in the Old Testament, look for Him. It won’t always be easy. You may need to ponder patiently and seek spiritual guidance. Sometimes the references to Him seem very direct, as in Isaiah’s declaration, “Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: … and his name shall be called … The Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6). In other places, the Savior is represented more subtly, through symbols and similarities—for example, through the descriptions of animal sacrifices or the account of Joseph forgiving his brothers and saving them from

Top Posts of 2025

2025 was actually a little quiet here on the old bloggity blog.  My last child at home is a senior in high school and it has led to a lot of changes in our house.  I am now working outside the home for the first time in over 20 years.  I got a job at one of the antique malls that I have a booth in.  It is a lot of fun, but very, very busy!  And it is definitely taking some adjusting.  

I have felt a little behind on blogging and hope to do more, bigger and better next year.  But as I looked over 2025, yes the posts were a little less, but there was still some good stuff there, if I do say so myself.  :)

Come Follow Me Doctrine and Covenants study for 2025

 Here is a quick recap of the 2025 Come Follow Me Study of Doctrine and Covenants.

Just like previous years, each week in 2025, I made a new printable with the information provided by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the Doctrine and Covenants Come Follow Me manual.    

Even though I have been a member of the church my entire life, I learn new things each time I open the scriptures.  I have used my paper scriptures many times, but now I love to read them in the Gospel Library app.  Once you are signed in, you can mark passages and make notes and it will keep track.  I love marking my scriptures and taking notes because it reminds me of how I have been touched by the Spirit as I have read.
