What to bring for a camping club camp

A camping club camp needs more than tents and sleeping bags. You will also need a workable cooking setup, enough reusable tableware, safe lighting, drinking water and a way to keep fresh food cold. Count equipment by camper and by shared station, then check what can be borrowed before shopping. Pack materials by team so the cooking, sleeping and arrival areas can be set up without searching through every box.

Tips

Count one sleeping mat and one sleeping bag per camper, plus a ground tarp for each tent or sleeping area. Check borrowed gear at least 3 days before departure so missing items can still be replaced.
Plan shared tableware for the full group: one plate, bowl, cup and cutlery set per person, with at least 10% extra for loss, dirt or late arrivals. Add serving spoons to each dish that will be served.
Use one cooler for every 8 to 10 campers when the menu includes fresh products. Chill food before departure, keep the coolers closed, and separate raw ingredients from ready-to-eat food.
Allow one camping gas stove per 8 to 10 campers for a group meal, with enough gas cylinders for the complete cooking period plus one spare if resupply is difficult. Test every stove and cylinder before packing.
Give each camper a headlamp and place rechargeable lamps at the cooking station, tent entrance and toilets. Charge them the night before and pack a separate charging cable or power source.

Frequently asked questions

How many tents and sleeping bags do I need for a camping club camp?: Plan one suitable sleeping space, sleeping mat and sleeping bag per camper. Add one spare sleeping place for every 10 campers if the group includes first-time campers or uncertain registrations, and confirm the final count 3 days before departure.
How much tableware should I buy for a camping club camp?: Prepare one reusable plate, bowl, cup and cutlery set per participant, plus 10% extra. For 30 campers, that means 33 of each item; serving spoons are needed separately for each shared dish.
How many coolers are needed for a camping club camp?: Use roughly one cooler for every 8 to 10 campers when fresh food is on the menu. For 30 campers, prepare 3 to 4 coolers and load them with chilled food before leaving.
When should I check the camping shopping list?: Do a first inventory 7 days before camp and a final shopping-list check 2 to 3 days before departure. Shop for shelf-stable goods first, then buy fresh products as close to departure as storage allows.
