Let's Get You Ready for Camp!
Preparing for camp can be confusing—but it doesn’t have to be! We’ve created this guide to make sure that your time leading up to camp is as easy as possible!
Access your Parent DashboardPacking List? Check!
It’s never too early to start the packing process! Find out what to pack, our clothing guidelines, and (more importantly) what NOT to pack. Curious about what your camper can wear? The packing list will help!
Download a Packing List- Pack your child’s clothes for each day in ziplock bags labeled with the day the child is to wear them. Include t-shirts (Themed: if necessary), shorts, and undergarments for each day.
- Pack all toiletries in a gallon zip lock bag so your campers are not putting wet things back into their suitcase/trunk.
- Pack a trash bag in your child’s suitcase so that all dirty clothes and wet clothes have a place to go instead of in the suitcase/trunk.
Camp is More Fun
With Friends!
If your camper wants to be in the same cabin as a friend, you’ll need to complete a Roommate Request through your Parent Dashboard.
If you’re making a request for another camper and have not received an email with a code:
Fill out the top of the Roommate Request and click “Send Request”
If you have received an email with a code:
Copy the code from the email into the request code field and accept the request.
The deadline to accept or send a request is 2 weeks prior to camp arrival. Any requests after 2 weeks can not be guaranteed but will be accommodated if possible.
Access your Parent DashboardIf your camper has siblings of the same gender that fall into the 2 year age difference and you want them to room together, be sure to request them to be roommates! We don’t automatically assign siblings to the same cabin.
Camper Mail While at Camp
Stay in touch with your camper all week with premade notes and packages or BunkNotes sent through the Carolina Creek app!
Feel free to include letters or small packages in your camper’s trunk before arriving at camp (please refrain from packing food).
PLEASE KNOW A convenient mail drop-off station will be available as you make your way through Opening Day Check-In.
Please make sure to clearly mark all mail for your camper with their first and last name, as well as the desired delivery day.
(For example: Johnny Day / Monday)
You can send BunkNotes straight from our app to your camper. You can include fun frames, games and notes that will be delivered to your camper daily!
We’ve worked really hard to make camp a great experience not just for the camper, but for you as the parent as well!
To get started, just go to the App Store and download the Carolina Creek app and login with your existing account today!
Ready? Game On!
Roll the dice, draw your cards, and get ready for a summer of strategy, teamwork, and fun! At Creekside, we’re bringing your favorite board games to life with exciting challenges, life-sized game boards, and creative twists on classic favorites. Whether you’re solving mysteries like a detective, racing to victory, or working together to conquer cooperative challenges, every camper will have a chance to play, strategize, and win! Get ready for a summer where every move counts, friendships are built, and fun is always a role away. GAME ON!
The Camp Store Guide
Everyday your camper will have the opportunity to go to the snack shack and they will go to the camp store at least once while at camp.
Make sure to put $25-$50 on your camper’s account so they will have access to money to buy snacks and goodies!
If they run out of money during the week—no problem! You’ll get a message if their account drops below $5.
Carolina Creek is cash-free for campers! You can bring cash to opening day and we’ll put it on their store account, but no cash will be accepted from campers throughout the week.
Camp store items range from a couple dollars for stickers and keychains to $35+ for sweatshirts and blankets. Additionally, you’ll be able to go to the store on opening and closing day with your camper to pick out items together.
Say Cheese!
We’re excited to continue using the Carolina Creek app for all of our parents this year!
The app is a great place for parents to stay connected to all that is happening at camp with videos, photos, updates and more right from your phone.
Parents will now be able to see the videos that our Creative team produces during the week the same day campers see them.
We are continuing our photo service this year with integrated facial recognition so that as soon as a photo of your camper is uploaded, you get real-time updates.
No more sifting through hundreds of photos! (We understand if you still want to—camp is pretty exciting!)

ALL MEDS TO NURSE
State law requires that all medications (prescription and OTC) be stored in the health center. Please refrain from packing them in suitcases or trunks.
ORIGINAL CONTAINERS
Please ensure that all prescription medications are in their original containers with up-to-date dosage instructions. Remember to only bring the necessary amount of pill bottles for the session and leave the excess at home. Additionally, creams, inhalers and other boxed items must have labels on them.
UP-TO-DATE
All medications must be specifically prescribed for the camper. Be sure to verify the expiration date—all medications must be up to date!
LEAVE OTC MEDS & VITAMINS AT HOME
Maximize your packing space! We stock plenty of over-the-counter medications for when your camper needs them. If your camper requires a daily allergy medication, kindly drop it off at check-in.
