as much as every one says dont bring a jacket, you may want to bring one just in case, or something that is water proof, because if a storm comes it will probably rain, and two years ago in july it snowed, so be ready because the glacier can bring you anything, Also if you have anything you want to sell bring it, and bring candy ha the lil kids will by that stuff up for mad scrilla, and expect to have the most fun you have ever had.

hope you have a blast.. even though its obvious you will.
i might see you up there, i haven't gone to any summer camp in a few years so my parents decided if my grades are good, i might go this summer.
maybe il see you there!
ps: ive been to skate camps and such, the lock idea is key. shit gets taken every day.

iv went session 3 and if you pack well it will help you allot more than you think.
Here are some essentials that are easy to overlook:

any kind of jacket is pretty much a waste of space. bring a huge sweater and layer some tees under for warmth (witch you probably wont need anyways).

bring sunscreen and you will make friends quickly. it is usually in high demand after the first day because most people have burned noses.

dont spend your money on clothes and shit that you already have because when you are craving a red bull it kinda sucks to find out that you dont have any cash left. On a related note, Buy your drinks before hand and keep them in the fridge so that you dont have to carry serious bills everywhere because i have lost 30 $ and a cell phone in the foam pit.

Dude, One thing is it is so hot there you want to ski naked. Especially if your hiking features. However it can get windy on the lifts..SO MUCH FUN!!

beware if you plane to go to like session 1 or 2. last year i went to session 2 and it was still winter out there. we werent aloud to ski a few days and most of the days were cold. other wise it was an amazing time and definatly bring lots of clothes that you dont mind getting ruined.

Backpack, especially if it gets warmer/colder you can change and have somewhere to keep it without it being stolen.

dont worry too much about getting made fun of, everyone is there to learn new stuff like you. i have seen a lot of kids go that can barly go off a jump. if you want you new equipent now then go for it, its nice to know you look good too haha
