My Teenage 1-Week Universal Packing List (Linky, too)

6/12/2015

Whenever I stay somewhere (Last summer I spent 3 weeks away from home: 2 on vacations and 1 at camp) I am always recognized as an overpacker. Here is both everything I can think of to pack, as well as a bolded list that is more of the basics. 

(Actually not quite everything, but if I would list everything, that would be really embarrassing. Like who takes along your very own hymnal to the beach? #me #awkward) 

If you are looking for "How to pack two and a half weeks of things" in a carry on... lol, This post is not for you :) You'll probably want to check out this post with a thousand and one hacks: 

Please note that this is my own personal "general" list and you'll have to reconstruct your own personal one to fit your needs. For example, for camping, dont forget shelter, food, etc that are not on this list. If you wont have a bed, consider an air mattress.

Similarly, for my camp I might add one white item (tshirt, fabric, socks, whatever) to tie dye as well as a woods outfit: (old dark skirt I dont mind getting beat up, old shoes I can run in, knee highs, long sleeve shirt, and a tshirt each in dark colors) as to play Capture the Flag and such. To go on vacation I might bring my laptop and more foodstuffs like popsicles, grapes, and a family size bag of chips. 


I was not going to include links to the products that I use, but that also might be a great starting point if you need to pick some of this stuff up. The Amazon ones are affiliate links, but not all this stuff can be bought from Amazon. 

1- 2 Swimsuits
2 Swim Skirt/ Pants
