[quote=Anonymous]DD will be gone for 12 days at a camp in the Poconos so it might be hot during the day and cool in the mornings and evenings, with some rainy days here and there. That means we have to pack for a variety of weather, but there will be no laundry. *Everything* is supposed to fit in one duffel, because DD will need to carry her own bag from the entrance to her bunk (parents not allowed in to help due to Covid safety precautions), but they said they understand if we need an additional bag for bed linens/towels.

It turns out her duffel is just too heavy and DD cannot carry it; I imagine we overpacked. My question is this: if you were packing for a 12 day camp (with all 15-16 year old campers who likely care about their appearance) would you pack enough clothing for 12 full days or would you pack for about 7-8 days and have DD wear things more than once?

I packed 12 t-shirts, a sweatshirt, 2 long sleeve shirts and a Jean jacket, as well as one pair of jeans, 2 pairs leggings, 5 pairs of PJs, sneakers, sandals and crocs. Ugh. It’s way too heavy.

Any advice would be much appreciated!!

Thank you.
