What to Pack for OutsideCon

Are you a rough and rugged camper or a bougie glamper? Doesn’t matter. Bring what you need to be comfortable for a weekend in the woods.
This is just a suggestion list. Weather in September can swing from hot to chilly, so plan for layers.

🛏️ Sleeping & Comfort

• Blankets / pillows / sleeping bag
• Box fan – cabins can get stuffy
• Towels – shower + swimming

👕 Clothing & Shoes

• Good walking/hiking shoes
• Warm layers – at least one set of pants + hoodie/jacket. Weather is unpredictable.
• Rain gear: poncho or umbrella – festivities are rain or shine!

🎯 Competition Gear Optional

• Fishing Contest: Fishing poles + bait
• Archery Contest: Bow + arrows

🧴 Personal & Camp Essentials

• Toiletries
• Toilet paper – just in case
• Bug spray
• Wasp spray – handy since cabins sometimes have nests outside windows
• Flashlights or headlamps
• Trash bags for your debris – pack it in, pack it out

🎲 Fun & Games

• Board games / card games / dice
• Outdoor games: badminton, soccer ball, kickball, etc.
