| Q: | What should I bring to camp? |
| A: | Clothes & Toiletries
The Seabeck dress code is very casual. The weather is often sunny and warm, but rain is always
possible. It can be chilly in the early morning and late evening. Suggested items include
shorts, a bathrobe, a hat, a swimsuit, a beach towel, some beach shoes, walking/hiking shoes, a warm sweatshirt/jacket, shampoo, sunscreen, your medications, mosquito repellent.
Linens & Ground Covers
Seabeck provides sheets, blankets, pillows, bath towels, washcloths, and hand soap and
shampoo. You'll need to bring your own beach towels and beach blankets - please do not use the
Seabeck linens for outside use. You may wish to bring a small tarp or mat for sitting on wet grass. Not all rooms have reading lamps or fans, so bring one if these are important to you.
Tie-Dye Shirts
For the Tuesday afternoon tie-dyeing, bring something pre-washed in 100% cotton white. We will
some have UCUCC Seabeck t-shirts available for purchase that work well for this purpose.
Dancing Shoes
We will have folk dancing on Thursday evening, so bring your dancing shoes!
Kid Stuff
The rooms have normal beds only (no guardrails), so bring your own portable crib or plastic
mattress protector if needed (because we don’t want anyone to fall, now). Bring strollers, toys, diaper
bags, bedtime story books, a nightlight, some baby soap, and some swim floats. Older houses don’t have
bathtubs and most likely have shared bathrooms. The dining room does have highchairs.
Musical Instruments and Talent Show Items
Bring the instruments and any items you need for your talent show performance.
Sports and Crafting
Bring your FAVORITE Equipment for sporting so you can beat the Seabeck chair at everything!
Frisbees, pickleball equipment, beach toys, yoga mats,
tennis racquets and balls, ping pong paddles (and quarters for the ping-pong ball machine), adult bicycles
and helmets (for off-premises riding only), sea kayaks and gear for exploring Hood Canal, hiking boots,
juggling gear, and so forth.
You may want to bring your favorite puzzles, handicrafts, needlework, knitting, quilting, sketchpads, board games, playing cards, books, journals, cameras, etcetera.
