What does my child need to bring to camp? In addition to bringing a water bottle, we suggest participants bring a small backpack to hold all of their belongings. Hawk Ridge Campers are to bring an extra change of clothes, a towel, a bottle
of sunscreen, and a swimsuit to camp. Participants attending an athletic workshop, or camp will need to bring necessary items associated with that particular sport. All participants and campers are required to bring a water bottle with them to camp or their program each day.
