Hello ladies,
I have a question for you. My 8yr old son will be staying in Maryland with his aunt and grandmother for 6-8 weeks starting in June. However, this is my son's first time staying away this long, and I have no idea how many clothes to pack. He will be starting summer camp on June 25th, 2011. I know the basic camp attire but I don't want to over pack for him. I want to make sure he has enough clothes,personals, etc. I always pack extra under clothes, how many shirts, shorts, socks should I pack? Sorry if it's a little silly for some but again this is my 1st time packing for such a long stay. Thank you in advance have a wonderful day.

What can I do next?

my son goes for summer camp every summer for 2 weeks. unlike your son he is not with family. I pack him 2weeks worth of clean outfits and an extra 10 pair of underwear and an extra 2 outfits. half of it comes back unused sigh......but if your son is with family they will have washers and dryers he would be fine with 2 weeks worth of clothing. don't over think it. and don't go buy a lot of new clothing. camp is for playclothing. I go to the second hand store and buy a bunch of tshirts and shorts that it won't matter if he does the mud tug of war or the swamp hiking thing. they can just be tossed into the rag bag. good luck

I think I would probably pack two weeks worth of clothes.

Two weeks clothes max--they have a washer/dryer, right?

Don't forget to pack LOTS of sunscreen!
