Your stay at Camp Gimmiyabeeya will be a unique experience. Like any other camp, however, what you bring with you may have significant effects on the quality of your experience. The following list was culled from our staff members' years of experience with lack of preparation, and the consequences thereof.

Bring:

  • Clothing
    • More underwear than you think you'll need.
    • Swimsuit(s)
    • Sneakers or Hiking Boots (to taste)
    • Sandals, flip-flops, Tevas, etc.
    • Jeans
    • Shorts
    • T-Shirts
    • Flannels, sweatshirts, etc. to be used for layering. It's Maine, after all.
    • Raincoat
    • Sunglasses
  • Personal Care
    • Toothbrush/paste
    • Deodorant
    • Shaving Equipment (optional)
    • Feminine Hygiene Products (as appropriate)
    • Shampoo
    • Soap (rope optional)
    • Sun Block
    • Two (2) beach towels
    • Bug Spray
    • Medications
    • Birth Control Pills, Condoms, Lubricant, "Toys", whatever...
  • General
    • Tent (it's safe to say you won't have a bed in the cabin.)
    • Air mattress & sheets for it
    • Sleeping bag
    • Flashlight
    • Cash
    • Cards or Board Games
    • CDs
    • Movies (VHS format)
    • Cooler (with enough booze to last you a week)
    • Batteries
    • 4WD Vehicle
    • Munchies

DO NOT Bring:

  • Clothing
    • Expensive shoes (They will get ruined. The exception would be high heels, as long as they're only used in bed. Be warned that they may have undesired consequences when used in conjunction with air mattresses and tents in general. Your mileage may vary.)
    • Expensive Jewelry (It'll invariably get lost at some point, probably when you're too drunk to effectively look for it.)
    • Anything that would require dry cleaning
    • Anything that would be ruined by sand, water, sun, or general roughhousing.
  • Personal Care
    • Novelty condoms or anything else that looks like forms of birth control but aren't intended to be used as such.
  • General
    • Pets (pet waivers are available by petitioning the management).
    • Whiney or otherwise annoying personality.
    • Whiney or otherwise annoying friends or significant others.
    • Video Games
