What do you need to bring to Camp Mather?

This list is both over and under-inclusive, but it gives
you a start for the list of things you might like to bring.

All manner of essential items are available at the Camp Mather General Store, so do not fret if something gets left behind!

Update: We understand that some families or campers may consider bringing Starlink or other internet access devices because camp is in a remote location without internet service. While we would greatly prefer that internet access be left at home so everyone can fully enjoy the camp experience, we ask that if it must be brought to camp, the network be password protected. This helps prevent children with phones, iPads, or other devices from accidentally connecting.
