Do Bring:  Your lunch, filled canteens, and the rest of your gear packed in a backpack and ready for a hike. You just may begin your week with a hike! Also, it is up to you to put name tags in clothing and on gear which makes it easier to return when lost.

Do Not Bring:  Radios, stereos, electric games, playing cards, game equipment, dice, pets, firearms, bows and arrows, any weapons, sheath knives, axes, hatchets, slingshots, comic books, magazines, candy, food, sterno or other flammable liquids, alcohol or non-prescription drugs. Any and all of the above will be confiscated at check-in and held until the end of the program.

About Hiking Boots:  Leather hiking boots take several months –many miles— of walking/hiking to “break in” and soften up the boots to the point where they will not cause blisters. Newer synthetic materials break in more quickly —but still, do not buy new hiking boots the week before White Stag! You may really regret it. Instead, if you need to buy new hiking boots, do so at least a month or two ahead of time, and then wear them a lot before you come to White Stag Summer Camp.
