Advice for Campers New to Camp Arrowhead
Our camp staff know better than most what advice might be most helpful to a first-time camper at Camp Arrowhead. Here are some of our favorite tips:
Bring a bag to keep all your toiletries. This way you’ll never lose your toothbrush!
Have fun, try all the activities you can, and make friends with your cabin mates.
Ask questions when you hear words you don't understand (eg: BIFFY, Corn Crib, Orange Trail, etc). Be open to new adventures. Help your parents pack your suitcase, or pack it yourself! That way you'll know what you have, where to find it, and how to fit it all in your bag when it is time to go home. There will be a lot of new friends which can sound scary, but it's actually the best part! Your new friends will be the first thing you'll tell your parents about when they pick you up. Make sure you write down your phone number or address so you can give it to your new friends to keep in touch!
It may be scary to go to camp for the first time, but the staff are there to support you whenever you are in need. Have fun, make friends, and make memories.
