Camp Theme Days for 2025! What to Pack?
Theme Days At Camp!
Each summer has Theme Day(s) designated for some extra fun! What are the themes for 2025?
At camp, every day feels like a party - but some days are themed so they feel even more festive than usual. Boys have the option to bring clothing items or small “props” to camp with them for Theme Days to dress-up if they’d like! It’s not required, so some campers and staff make do with items they find or create at camp.
Following are the designated Theme Days for 2025:
- June Camp: Minecraft, Christmas in June, Mission Impossible
- Main Camp: SportsCenter Jersey Day, SwampFest, Outer Space
- 2-Week Camp: Jurassic Creek, Superhero Day

What Else Should I Pack?
While costumes or outfits for summer camp theme days are completely optional, you may want some guidance on packing essentials! Here’s our page on “What To Bring” to camp. See below for the packing lists.
Although not all boys choose to go on extended camping trips, campers in all sessions will go on cabin overnight campouts and need to carry a sleeping bag, rain gear, clothes, waterbottle, their share of the group’s food, etc. A daypack or book bag is not large enough or sturdy enough to hold the necessary gear. The “What To Bring” page will have additional detail on this gear.
Staff, we’ve written a blog just for you on what to pack for working at summer camp.
Green & Gold Shirts
June, Main, and 2-Week Camp campers are assigned, by cabin, to a green or gold team upon arrival to camp. Team assignments are for all-camp games and some other in-camp activities.
The packing list for the June, Main, and 2-Week sessions includes (1) green and (1) gold t-shirt. Green and gold t-shirts brought from home are fine. The shirts may have writing on them—they do not have to be plain. If a camper does not have a shirt, it’s okay. Often colors are also denoted with paint or green/gold flag belts.
Still have questions? You can always or call the camp office (828-692-0262). Happy packing!
