  • Colored panties will be too conspicuous under the white tops and bottoms.
  • You can take a 2 – 3 sets of casual wears/mufti for Sunday and camp fire night.
  • 1 pair of shoe and socks is okay. It is good to have a white rubber shoe that is easy to clean (sold at camp also)
  • Torch lights
  • Mosquito nets/mosquito repellant
  • Food flasks, cups, drinking flasks & cutlery
  • Cloth hangers
  • Wrist watch
  • Padlocks and keys

  • Pegs/clips
  • Get a cheap watch. Everyone uses a waist purse. It’s your camp bestie. Most of these items can be easily bought in the camp so don’t worry. If you can’t get them before travelling.

Optional First Aid Items

  • Methylated spirits/ rubbing alcohol
  • Band aids/plasters
  • Robb
  • Bandages

  • If you have an internet-enabled camera phone, do take it along. Camp life can be very boring without one. You will like to take pictures and share with your friends. You only need to be very vigilant and protective of your things. If you feel you need a bulletproof vest or helmet, please carry it. You know what we mean, don’t you?

MONEY, MONEY, AND MORE MONEY.

Never, ever, ever run out of it. Bring as much as you can afford.

Prices of items apart from fast consumer goods (Credit, Beverages, Gala, etc) are usually higher than those outside so it is advisable you buy the things you can before going into camp.
