My daughter is going for the first time for second half.
How much room does each girl get for her stuff?

Such memories!!! I went there!
I'm pretty sure 2 shelving units (3 shelves each) plus closet space to hang stuff.

My daughter said some bring and if they leave it in cold water long enough, it works.

When I was there it was still allowed but they don’t allow it because too many girls were getting burned..

My daughter is there now.
I believe each girl gets 3 small shelves next to their bed. Most girls have bins to put on those shelves. They get a little hanging space and a spot for the shower caddy. They also bring the 3 drawers.
This year they instituted the no noodle soup policy and they are sticking to it. Some girls are eating it raw. They also no longer allow packages. It got way out of hand.
My daughter is thrilled there, btw.

Another question-
Do the girls bring the case of water bottles or the camp sells it?

That's sounds revolting.

A mailing said they should NOT bring water, they have perfectly fine water and they should bring a good water bottle to fill up.

Thank for all ure replies. 2 more questions:

Do most girls bring a camp chair?

The book says you must have a new SD card for the camera. Is that enforced? My daughter has been at other camps where they wrote the same thing but most girls came with their old SD card that had pics and videos on it.

Yes, everyone brings a camp chair. They all sit outside on the porch of the bunkhouse shmoozing, and they all use their chairs. Walmart has one for $12, I can link if you want.

I believe they do enforce the new SD card rule. Or at least I try to model rule following for my dd.
