The most popular and practical Camp luggage is the foot locker. It is handy, slides under the bunk bed, and can take moderate abuse. Suitcases are acceptable as well. Please label all clothes and belongings. There is no way for the Camp staff to ensure that items are claimed if they are not properly labeled. It is also a good idea to make a list of a camper's clothes and belongings and tape it to the foot locker. This list helps when packing to go home.
