I'm going to summer camp (first time) for two weeks, not allowed electronics. It's a camp where I will be sharing a cabin with eight girls my age (14-15) and doing activities like canoeing, kayaking, arching, music etc. what do you suggest I pack? and what do you suggest I bring to stay entertained during free time?
Pack clothes you feel most comfortable in if it's really hot, books, playing cards etc. The Mad Libs idea is a great one. Odds are with eight girls 14-15 and all those activities there won't be much downtime to begin with.
Don't bring the whole game with you but try finding a pop culture trivia game or Scene IT and bring only the cards. You can make a game out of guessing correct answers with others provided they know about the kind of things on the cards. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]

Don't forget pants and a sweatshirt in case it gets cold at night. Extra socks and underwear. A brush to get the dirt out of your nails. Bring candy or snacks if you're allowed. Powdered lemonade mix because you might get tired of water. Are there any crafty hobbies that you're into? Bringing craft supplies will give you plenty to do. Easy card games like UNO can be fun with your cabin group. A big bag of nail polish and nail polish remover for cabin manicures. A disposable camera is a must because you're going to want pictures. Mad libs? A journal is a great idea so that you can write down your thoughts since you can't post them online or text them to anyone! Have an amazing time! Summers at camp were and will always be the best times of my life. There will be so much to do you probably won't even need anything of your own to stay entertained with. :) [ sizzlinmandolin's advice column | Ask sizzlinmandolin A Question ]

Well, obviously you'd bring a swimsuit. And I really recommend those water shoes. I guess for entertainment you can bring loads of things:
-board games or card games
-books or magazines(like tv you won't get in trouble for.)
-journal or sketchbook (it would be cool if you wrote or drew about everything you did at camp so you can look back at it later- and since I guess cameras aren't really allowed, I would bring this just for memories.
-candy and stuff lolz
-binoculars/ telescope if you have them
-sunglasses
-sunblock and toiletries (obviously)
-stamps for letters home (if you want to. That's what I would always bring.)
And well, yeah! That was all that I could really come up with but I hope that it helped! Have fun at camp!!!!!!!!!!!
