Camp Woodland Blog

We are closing in one week before camp begins and we just wanted to give a few more tips while you are busily working on packing your daughter for camp. 

Our biggest recommendation is to send your daughter’s bedding ahead of time. Bedding can take up most of your car space and may get tight if you have more than one child going to camp. The counselors will make your daughter’s bed ahead of time, so when she is arrives at camp she will have comfort on seeing her things already on her bed.  It instantly make the cabin feel very cozy too!

The weather is always changing at camp.  Therefore, great bedding items to help with the colder and warmer temperatures are the following:

• 1 pillows with pillow cases
• Mattress pad
• 3 warm blankets
• 2 bed sheet sets
• One favorite stuffed animal

Good luck!!!

“How many camp T-shirts do I really need to buy for my child for camp???” is a frequent question that I hear.

On the camp packing list, it may look like you may have to buy a lot of camp gear.  Camp clothing is never out of style (see our proud Alumni) and often becomes the most favorite item’s in your camper’s wardrobe. However, you may be relieved to hear that one Camp Woodland T-shirt & one Woodland Jacket will meet your camper’s summer dress needs.

At camp every Sunday, we show our camp spirit by wearing our Woodland wear.  There are also special events where each cabin shows their pride and unity via Woodland attire.  

Buying a camp jacket is a great investment for enjoying cooler Wisconsin evenings.   It’s also a great way to show off a camper’s progress, with all the badges she’s earned each summer.  I recommend that you to buy their jacket big, so they can wear it for a couple of summers!!

So while you can never have too much Camp Woodland clothing, your camper will be very happy with these two basic essentials (T-Shirt & Jacket).

Hi Camp Families!

This week we will be posting tips on essential items your child should be bring to camp.  Check out our first video on the importance of shower caddies!

Dear OD log,
My last day as OD ; so depressing. I can not believe it is the end of my second CIT year. Well I did the normal OD duties in the morning and I got to drive the golf cart , not once but TWICE. Oh ya!
And I got to fold and lick every single letter home.
Well in the afternoon I got made fun of my by Almu and Arantxa, for not wanting to get in the water. Thanks girls. Good job Emma, Collette and Claire.
I had a beautiful hour off, but I missed evening assembly because I was at the nurse. So I didn’t get to do the roll, it was depressing. Well I have had a great two years being a CIT.
Signing off forever, rest of my life.
Heart breaker

Dear OD Log,
My last day of being OD! Tear ;( I can’t believe the summer has gone by so quickly! Today was another beautiful day at Woodland. Regina was camper of the day! Felicidedes! Te quiero! After assembly I did cabin inspections with Wendy. I can’t believe 4 cabins got 30s! Great Job girls! I was a little confused by the water bottles hanging from the ceiling in Hilltop though! You girls are crazy! After a yummy lunch we had a lovely resthour full of Co-ed show practice and showering, Ski help was a BLAST! TUBING! I love being OD because you can go twice ☺ I had a fantastic tube ride with Sam and Corrine. Sam we can do it! Just don’t fall off! And sorry Almu and Aranxa but you can’t go again! I also had good bonding time with Sarah Fischer in between rides reminiscing about past years and how cute it was when my cabin did Maroon 5 for lip sing my second year. Do you know that I have been coming to camp for 54 weeks?
Canteen was in low supply sorry girls. Then it was my hour off and off to coed show practice after dinner.
Signing off for the last time,
