CAMPING CHECKLIST

Below is checklist of suggested items to pack for your trip. You don't need every item on this list to have a good time. You can bring as much or as little as you like. We recommend that you pack light and enjoy the time with the little ones. Use the resources of your tribe by asking other dads to bring items shared by the tribe.

Before you go

• Have a dad's meeting to plan trip, meals, carpooling, etc.
• Clean/check vehicle and get gas
• Get money. Don't forget quarters for showers
