Here are our picks for what to pack—from sleeping bags to stationary to the right light. Our list of Sleepover Camp Essentials has you covered.

	The Bedding L.L. Bean’s promise that their Camp Sleeping Bag is ‘simply the highest-quality camp bag you’ll find anywhere’ was a bold enough statement that were slightly skeptical. Then we tested it, and…they were right. Proper warmth, great construction and proven longevity. This bag, at this price, can’t be beat.
	The Emergency Solution Only a veteran camp mom would know the secret weapon to sleepover camp success.

Perfect.

You want them to love it for so many reasons…but mostly because you want them to keep going back (and back…). So make sure to pack the rest of these Sleepover Camp Essentials.
