Items to bring on an overnight camping trip
All girls should have a maximum of 2 bags. One "sleeping gear" bag and one "clothes" bag. We prefer that girls are able to put "clothes" bag inside of "sleeping gear" bag, so that each girl has only one big bag. PLEASE, only pack what is on the list. Extras are not needed.
Sleeping gear

Pillow
Flashlight and extra batteries
