2023 CIT CAMP THEMES

Wondering what to bring to camp? View packing lists here!

NEW in 2023…

• Shoes will be required at the waterfront. Shoes can be sandals or closed-toe water shoes; they must have a solid sole.

Log in to your Active Network account to complete the following items if you haven’t already:

• Finalize registration & health forms
• Approve waivers
• Add authorized pick-ups
• Pay outstanding balances

If your camper takes medication, please bring a completed Request to Administer Medication at Camp form on the first day (blank forms will also be available at camp).

We use the app FunFangle for our camp store, which allows families to add camp store money to their camper’s account, see their camper’s balance, and even donate remaining funds to camp if desired.

The camp store will feature snacks ($1-3 each) and souvenirs like hats, hoodies, t-shirts, stuffed animals, water bottles, and more ($3-35 each). See the items we will have available here.

You should have received an invitation via email* to create a FunFangle account. If you’ve already created an account, you can login to deposit money for the camp store here. If you have not yet created an account and can’t find your invitation email:

• Visit https://campfiremn.funfangle.camp/
• Click “I am a First-Time User”.
• Enter the same email address you used to register for camp. This will send the invitation email again.

*If you have not yet received an invitation email from FunFangle, be sure to check your spam folder.

Set up your Bunk1 account to send “Bunk Notes.” Bunk Notes are digital letters that you can send to your camper(s), customized with photos, borders, puzzles, and more. Bunk Notes are available for purchase in your Bunk1 account. FAQs about these options are on our website: campfiremn.org/bunk1/.

Your Bunk1 invitation code is: CampFire23

If you already have a Bunk1 account, you can simply log in with your email and password.

As one supporter put it – “Kids need joy.”

You see firsthand the impact access to nature and an inclusive community can have on campers. For many, camp can be a life-changing experience – and we need your help to make it possible for more kids. Please consider supporting our scholarship fund: campfiremn.org/donate/

Hear directly from some of our campers who share just how important your support is:
