We want to do everything we can to make the process of getting ready for camp as easy as possible for you. Of course, the earlier you get started on preparing for camp, the easier it will be for you and your family. We know there are lots of details to keep track of, and we want to help you find everything you need all in one place. We will keep this page updated with a checklist of things that should be done ahead of time to make the days leading up to camp stress-free.
We have 4 handbooks (Pioneer, Main Camp, Senior Camp and CIT) that contain all of the detailed information you need to know for the summer – what to pack, how to send your bags, travel to camp, etc. We suggest new and current families to read the handbook each year as things do change. To access the handbooks, please go to https://www.campwalt.com/handbooks/
Camper duffels must be shipped to camp ahead of time. Please make sure you register before May 1. We have two companies that we work with: Our primary baggage shipping company is R&B Camp Baggage. R&B serves all camp families who live east of the Mississippi. For those families who live west of the Mississippi, we recommend using Ship Camps.

While we are not a uniform camp, all campers coming to Camp Walt Whitman are required to have two of our green Camp Walt Whitman t-shirts. You can find these shirts, along with lots of other CWW clothing by accessing The Camp Spot’s full Camp Walt Whitman catalog. T While many campers enjoy having Camp Walt Whitman “swag” like sweatshirts and other clothing, please remember that the only required item to purchase is two CWW green t-shirts.
Any medication that campers take daily, including vitamins, must be pre-packaged ahead of time through CampMeds. This will ensure that our medical staff distributes the correct dose of the correct medication to your child each day.
We offer chaperoned flights from/to Miami, Los Angeles, DC Metro area and Austin, TX. We are now partnering with Tara Vaz at Atlas Travel to provide a more efficient flight booking service for our camp families. Their online reservation system is up and ready for you to reserve your camper’s seat on your desired flight. Click here to be directed to their registration website.
For those campers flying from alternate locations, please contact our office to arrange for airport pick-up and drop-off.
Visiting Day will take place on Saturday, July 20, 2024. You can find our hotel recommendations towards the back of the handbook.
