TIPS | PACKING FOR SLEEPAWAY SUMMER CAMP!
Ойын-сауық
We were SO confused packing last year, but now Presley and I know what she actually needs for sleepaway camp, things to bring that aren't on the list, and what NOT to do if you don't want your clothes stained! ;).

Just wanted to add… BRING A WATCH! If it’s a no electronics camp like mine, everyone is going crazy about the time of day by the end of the first week. 100% the item people most regret not bringing. Edit: Back from camp and it’s also a good idea to bring baby powder and sharpies (for shirt signing).

I go to camp but only for 2 nights
Games are definitely important! I would add sanitary pads if your child or their friends are in an age where there is any chance they might start their period. Of course they could also ask the camp counselors but asking and telling your friends is definitely a bonding experience. And a book or two to read alone or with friends.

I know I’m late but funny story, at my first summer camp my mom asked if I should bring pads and I said no because I’m “not gonna get my period in three days” I also didn’t bring my phone and the first morning I woke up to bloody underwear so even if you don’t think you need them STAY SAFE 😂
Some of my favorite off the list suggestions are collapsible cubes(love those for organizing shoes, accesories, etc), an off the bed organizer(holds books, waterbottles, etc), a shower caddy+ shower shoes, packing cubes, frienship string, pictures of friends/family/fairy lights, an off the door hook for your towels and things in the shower, a hanging toiletry organizer, and little pillows to decorate with. Sometimes sleeping bags can be helpful to use as cushion to make camp mattresses more comfortable.

@@bananabuttersomethin Hey. Trust me, it works. I didn't mean you had to bring everything. It just makes it easier especially if you are going for a long time. I have been going for almost 7 years now! That is just what works for me. I think you are taking this too seriously. Lol. Also, it isn't that much if you look at it all out in one place. It just looks like a lot and is just a suggestion. You need more than what you might think. I am very organized and hate messy bags, so that is just what helps that.
Another tip is to spray your bunk with bug spray when you get there- it helps to ward off bugs overnight. Hope this helps!

Presley acted so iconic when Elle said “Did you miss us???” , Smh I can’t wait until she is a teenager! She is growing up so fast✨✨✨
I can’t believe how big Presley is, I started watching your channel at what’s up Elle when I was so young and I remember really believing you were a triplet lol and I was so excited that me and pres share the same name 🥹 and now she and I are both so grown up. Crazy how time flies

She loves watching that video haha... THANK YOU so much for watching this long!! I still feel the same age, though I guess I've aged 10 years... NOOOOO haha!
she’s so big omg!!! he’s vocabulary and how she’s just speaks and is present is amazing!!!
I may not be a mom but this past month I was a camp counselor at a sleep away camp and LOVED IT! I was also a camper for 9 years so I picked up a thing or two when it came to packing! Here is my personal must haves that are not on the packing list at camps (my camp was always a month long so it’s a little bit different) -a mirror of your own: especially with girls, mini mirrors are needed cause girls can hog the big ones -a PLUG IN fan for at night- the cabins can get HOT with that many people in one room. At my camp there were outlets in the cabins so I would recommend a fan -an extension cord: even though there are outlits, they may be far from your bed area so bringing an extension cord was a LIFESAVIOR pics of fam/friends- this helped my campers/ when I was a campers have a happy reminder of home if they ever happen to miss it. -TIDE PENS: Presley said something about her clothes getting stained and when I was a camper/ my campers were always the same way tide pens can REALLY help that situation if there is something that gets on your clothes. Shower shoes- a must. no explanation needed. A mini backpack: usually at camp you are out of the cabin for hours at a time, having a mini backpack with all the essentials you may need is largely helpful and helps you from losing things Those are some of the main points but I hope this helps!
Crazy to see how big Presley is! I’ve been watching since the dancing triplets on whatsupelle 😂 Keep it up, Elle!

Good that Presley knows she's fortunate to be able to do this. Sleepaway camp is darned expensive and most kids don't get that opportunity.
I love when Pres says “key” I don’t know why but I love it
If in your bunk you have shelves for your clothes I definitely recommend storage cubes. They are so helpful they keep you organized all the time. I would also recommend a watch, and an iPod (with headphones).
She is so grown up! Elle and Ross, you do a wonderful job raising your kiddos!

Love these packing tips! Presley is growing up so fast!!! 😊
This is so cute, packing for camp for a 2 week program is so different than my 7 week summer camps, with 2 huge trunks basically double the size and full bedding and everything its crazy.
OMG!!! She Is so grown up my heart is melting! I remember when she was just being born she was so little I love how mature she is.
Presley have grown so much 😮! I have been watching you guys form the start and i remember Presley being a toddler and now she has grown up and matured so much . literally time flies so fast 😭. Love you all ❤️.
I went to camp for 2 days and I had so much fun imagine how much fun 2 weeks would be
I’m so glad she gets to go to camp! I go to camp for 8 weeks and love it so much!! 🥰❤️😊
i’ve been going to sleep away camp for 10 years and you totally killed this list!! also a backpack to hold everything for the day!
I wasn’t mentally ready for Presley to be old enough to go to sleep away camps 🙈🥲🥹 She’s a star!
This actually helped me so much I didn't know what it was like at camp because it's my first year so I will definitely be bringing some of these!
I feel like I’ve grown up with you guysss! I was here since Ford was a baby.
I’m definitely going to be using these tips for my school residential next year! Thanks, it really helps me to organise my suitcase! Especially the “outfits in bags” idea, I never would have thought of that :D.
I remember watching this a year ago and I remember watching them grow up as well!
I teared up at her letter! So smart and lovely she is!
Oh my gosh! I've been watching since whatsupelle. She's so grown up! I haven't watched for a while so seeing this in my recommended was so amazing🥰
I can’t believe all of your kids are getting so big I remember them being so little they grow up so fast I love how organized you and Presley are and I hope she had fun at camp🧡💛💗🤍
Another thing, if they don’t offer to do laundry and the kids are a bit older, take wash paste. When I go to camp (10-20 days) I nerver forget to bring it. We always travel to different countries (form Germany to Italy like this year) so it’s easier to just bring less clothes and wash them. Another thing is to have extra space. At kids camps a lot of crafts and souvenirs that need to come home
i’m crying!!! presley’s all grown up😭 i rmr her as a baby in the what’s up elle videos ❤️❤️
Presley is such a vibe 💝
I’m glad I watch this I just went on a sleep away camp for school this past Monday through Wednesday
Love how organized Presley is 😊 I could never be that organized 😂 love you guys ❤
Even tho ima a kid/ pre teen I still love watching these vids I never get bored!
I’m not a mum but I’ve been watching you for years they have all grown so much!
Watching your kids grow up is so beautiful. Weird reality “my kids have grown up with yours”. Such a small world in the KZread world. Your daughter looks so beautiful :) I think my 10 year old son has a crush on her 😅
Me and my mom were talking about this! Just for fun! I’m a good kid! But still, I love this channel! Keep up the good work, Elle!
Presley has grown so much!! She seems so mature!!
Omg I’ve been watching your videos for ages now, and they are so good and just so helpful. I actually use some of your tips and tricks, plus I’m also a teen and I still watch your videos.
I am going to summer camp in July so thanks for the tips it’s gonna be medieval themed and it’s so much fun
y'all are amazing! been a fan for 2 years now
At my camp we brought yarn to make bracelets and we came home with bracelets that held a lot of memories! I really recommend because it’s fun and it can also be used as a souvenir.
OMGG HIIII GUYS I HAVENT WATCHED YALL IN 5 YEARS YOUR STILL GOING AND THE KIDS AHH I CANT I LOVE THEM.
Omg I literallly love this video I recently started going to sleep away camps and this video got me so excited. If you guys are going again this year please make another packing video!
Hey Presley! I remember when you were so little! Tess and ford have also grown so much! I love your channel! ❤❤
I’m going to camp literally 10 July so I’m super excited! Also this helped so much
I go to sleep away camp for 4 or more weeks every year and I bring a big wood trunk I don’t go on a bus so it really easy to travel with I really recommended it you can get it from everything summer camp

Awesome! I went for the first time at 12! It was a two week away. I miss it. However, I am excited to be a camp counselor this year.
Awww, she is so nice to watch! 😍
I always love ❤ all of your packing tips
A great idea !: if you are coufused with what to wear, label the clothing pieces like In weeks. Like for example, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, all the days of the week! Hope that helps or you could go with picking out your own clothes not in days. Xoxo, Lyla💗
I’m so excited I feel like just yesterday you were making the delivery of Presley video 😫
I loved this! Please I want more of SUMMER CAMP!
Wow she has grown so much so amazing to see her grow into a amazing young lady :,)
