*     Anything else I should bring?  Bring swimsuits if you plan to do any swimming, especially for the kids, since they will be swimming. Wear comfortable shoes and clothes.  If the temperature is predicted to be hot you might want to bring a fan, only Millor Hall is air-conditioned.  An alarm clock might be good, too!

There are also two head counselors who oversee the entire Camp Carroll program.
