What are some things to pack that she’ll need?
Does she need natives and slides?
How many shabbos outfits?
How many weekday skirts?
And how much nosh and where do you ship it from?

My girls went with two Shabbos outfits. Natives, no slides. I think around six weekday skirts. Nosh they brought with them in boxes under the bus, but if your daughters don’t have the bus you could order from amazon or walmart.

2 Shabbos outfits is not enough. That means they need to wear the same exact clothes every Shabbos.

Some of my granddaughters go to Camp Bais Yaakov where the rule is 1 Shabbos outfit to be worn Fri night & Shabbos day. Since u dont want to trust the laundry u bring 1 per week.

She tells me in Jappier camps they can change 2x so 3 per week! But I would not think Maarava is that type..

My girls bring 4, one for each Shabbos, as they don't want to put those clothes through the camp laundry.

Skirts differ on the year and the way the 9 days fall out. I think my younger one is bringing like 10 because a few are part of matching sets she has, and my older one more like 6.

They use slides for the shower and natives or floafers for the pool/muddy areas, etc

Nosh they bring a bin but we carpool up since we live a few hours away with no bus option.

My girls were totally fine wearing the same Shabbos clothes each week (they took turns wearing their friends’ clothes and it was fun). Four outfits for Shabbos is really a lot and not in our budget!

My girls need 3 when it's a 3 day YT...
We use hand me downs, past season, Ali, etc
I don't think even one of their outfits was $40.
Thinking about my older daughter going, one is from her older sister's last year, one is from last June I bought her for a cousin's wedding, one of from kidichic 30% off, and one is an Ali $20 dress with a cardigan that was I think $10...

My girls are really small and can't really rely on finding someone their size in their bunk to swap with.
Sukkos and RH are 3 day YT this year and not necessarily winter weather
This is the one thing I don't think is a waste.
