Bonus Pro-Tips to help you prepare:
- Pack road-trip games for your travel days
- Some groups make their own t-shirts to wear on the first/arrival day. It’s a fun way to represent your parish. You can even add our logo (file found on our Promote page) if you would like. Check out our albums on Facebook for ideas on what other groups have done in the past.
- CHWC will distribute a free t-shirt to every camper during the week. Many groups wear these on the last day of camp for the free day.
