Why a camp's own list
Generic camp lists miss the rules that decide what fits: Camp Longhorn caps trunks at 13.5 inches tall, Sea Gull and Seafarer want everything to fit a built-in cabin locker, Interlochen asks for its uniform in set colors. We copy each camp's list as it is published, with the date we read it and a link to the source.
