After the previous prep camp held by SMIT Club, I noticed that there are some things I needed during the camp but forgot to bring. For some items, I decided that I might not need them, thus I put them 1 side.

Here’s the MUST-bring items for camps.

1. Torch light
   If you’re staying over at the camp site for the night, a torch will do you good. There might be activities at night (after the sun sets) that requires your torch. Be it finding paths or reading sheets of papers. Some camp sites (like Singapore Polytechnic) off their lights at night after 12am. I’m sure you will need a torch to find your way to the toilet
2. Blanket or Sleeping bag
   Unless you’re fine with sleeping on the carpets or floor, please bring a sleeping bag. A sleeping bag will keep you warm at night too, especially when you’re sleeping in a room with air conditioner (You may not be able to adjust the temperature).
3. Insect repellent
   It’s advised that you bring an insect repellent if you’re prone to mosquito bites.
4. Toiletries & Personal Items
   Toothbrush is a must for everyone I believe. As for tooth paste, facial wash, shower foam and shampoo, don’t expect others to bring it and so you can share. If everyone’s thinking that the others will bring and they don’t have to bring, then you’ll end up with no body foam/shampoo for shower.
5. Towels
   How are you going to dry yourself without a towel?
