Lol I talk pretty fast too lol but
Yay! Can't wait to rewatch this about a million times while I pack!!
My second time watching just to make sure that I don't miss anything! I'm nearly finished with the buying part and just need to get a few bits and bobs now - I think I underestimated just how much I needed to buy because I didn't really have any sports clothes or jumpers or tops or shorts! I'm now a shopaholic 😂! Leaving in 24 days and I'm so excited, but slightly nervous as well... anyway, I love your videos! xx

I’ve never used packing cubes but I brought some for camp(if your reading this in Australia Kmart has some in black and pink!)and watching how you used them makes so much more sense haha so much more practical rather than just shoving everything in together, can’t wait to do a little practice pack this week and then I’m off in 2 weeks as of today! So exciting
I feel like I have definitely overpacked way as much as you! got 14 pairs of shorts It all fits in my case though! We packed the same I am bringing so many dressy tops also 🤣😣I got packing cubes the best thing I’ve ever brought!!i love your videos so much because I couldn’t find someone that overpacks like me!!

Honestly don’t remember how I came across your channel but it’s been a lifesaver these last few months😅 I was wondering if you would ever use vaccum bags? Or do you think packing cubes are better? I bought both and I’m still deciding lol
I just found your channel through Facebook and am going to BINGE your videos whilst I pack for my third summer

No not at all! I think if you were backpacking round somewhere like asia then you’d want a rucksack, but for America a suitcase has been fine for me!

Hi I’m just wondering if you knew the answers to any of these questions as camp america aren’t answering! When do I receive my actual flight tickets and how do you sort the covid test? I’m so anxious about the flight as I have no idea what I need etc? Also when are you going as I haven’t started packing but I leave in 3 weeks… could you do a video on everything you have to do to fly etc??
@victoriawhitehouse704

Hey! So I’m not too sure how it works with Camp America, I’m with bunac and sort my own flights so I’m not the best person to answer that one! Have you tried logging into your account to sort flights? And for a covid test it has to be done 24 hours before your flight, you can either pay to have it done and receive a certificate, or you can pay for a service where you do it yourself but have to video it and then you get a confirmation certificate. I’m flying on the 9th June! But yes I’ll do a video about the whole process of getting into the country x

Packing List CLOTHING - Shorts - Shirts - Bathing Suit (one piece for female staff & no speedos for male staff) - Jeans/Long pants - Underwear - Socks - Khaki shorts for check-in - Pajamas - Rain gear - Sweatshirt or light jacket - Closed toe sturdy shoes - Flip flops/ water shoes - Hat - Tie-dye or white shirt to tie-dye - Clothes to wear outside of camp (remember that you are always representing camp & never know when you will see a camp family) BEDDING & TOILETRIES - Sleeping bag or sheets & blanket (twin size) - Toothpaste & toothbrush - Pillow and pillow case - Towels - Washcloth - Soap & shampoo - Deodorant - Brush/comb - Sunscreen - Laundry bag - Laundry detergent OPTIONAL ITEMS - Watch - Backpack - Sunglasses - Flashlight - Pen/pencil/paper - Alarm Clock - Bug spray - Musical Instruments - Favorite appropriate books to share with campers - Games - Cabin decorations - Costumes Now some of these things are optional since you are flying from another country I'm guessing whatever camp you are working at will provide the bedding and pillows since it's hard to take those on a plane this is just an idea of things you should bring to your camp it's up to you in the end what you bring but this is the list for my camp packing :) hope it helps you bro!
