Group Camping Checklist
This is a group, camping. The checklist for group camping can be separated into personal items and group items. Below is a checklist that can be used as a guide. You may not need everything on the list, and you shouldn’t try to take something just because it’s on the list. If it doesn’t make sense, don’t take it.
As with our other camping checklists, this is only a suggestion. Add and delete items as your condition dictate. It makes little sense to bring swim suite in the fall, or where there is no water to swim in. Leave ’em home!

Group items should be assigned to 2 or more campers. This helps to ensure nothing on the group camping checklist is missed. Personal items are the responsibility of the individual camper. However, there should be agreement among the party that if one camper is having difficulty gathering an item of gear, and there is another camper who may well have duplicates of an item and can share, it’s OK to say something. This is all about being creative when camping.
