Top 5 Things You Need To Bring To Camp
SheKnows

Everyone loves camp. It's a time to leave behind your everyday life for at least a week and enjoy yourself. Camp provides you with a variety of activities that everyone is sure to love, from swimming to hiking. While being at camp is fun, packing for camp is not. But don't fear, I'm here to help your packing go quicker so you can get to the good stuff! Here is a list of the top five things you need to bring to camp!

1. Appropriate Attire

Clothes are important anywhere you go, so it is important to bring the right type of clothing with you. But remember, this is camp so you shouldn't over-pack (too much anyway).

2. Recreational Activity Equipment

Whether you love volleyball, fishing, or hiking you need the proper equipment! If you plan on going fishing and forget your rod what kind of fun would you be having? I'll tell you what kind of fun, no fun at all.

3. Skin Protections

From sunscreen to bug spray, keeping your skin protected is vital to having a good time! Nobody wants to be the person who is the color of a tomato, stuck inside avoiding any further contact with the sun. And if you're itchy due to bug bites, you won't be able to focus on anything other than that annoying itch!

4. Hygiene Products

DO NOT FORGET THESE! These are essential to your everyday life for obvious reasons, so why wouldn't they be important on a camping trip?


5. Snacks

I don't know about you, but I know I always have a much better time doing things knowing my favorite snacks are going to be involved. So always bring good snacks with you, because even if the rest of your trip doesn't go as planned, at least you'll have good food!


There you have it, the top five things you need to bring with you to camp! Now go have fun at camp.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
