What Not to Bring

No cell phones or pagers

No radios / diskman / walkman / CD players

No playing cards

No cigarettes / alcohol / drugs of any kind (all medications you bring must be turned in to camp nurse)

No comic books

No chewing gum or candy

No electronic games

No food – food attracts animals

No knives or weapons of any kind

 

Camp Wightman seeks to help campers develop as a community during their week at camp.  We find that cell phones and other electronic devices can detract from these goals and so we ask that they not be brought to camp. If these items are brought to camp they will be held in the camp office and returned at the end of camp.
