Packing List

We kindly request that students bring their own towels and washcloths if possible. However, we understand this may not be feasible for everyone.

During check-in, we will offer each student a set of linens, including an XL Twin bed sheet set, a blanket, a pillow, a pillowcase, a towel, and a washcloth, to each student upon arrival. This is included in your tuition and comes at no extra cost.

If you have brought your own, simply let us know during check-in.

Don’t be that kid. Camp is in the summertime. It’s hot. Bring sunscreen.

Minnesota ACE Camp utilizes a self-administration policy for students who need medication during camp. This means the student must be able to understand the dosage required and when given the medication, be able to accurately dispense it themselves.

For safety reasons, any student taking medications (prescribed or over-the-counter) must notify the Camp Directors during check-in. 

With the exception of Rescue Medications*, Camp Staff will secure student medications throughout the day until they are ready for use. 

Please pay attention to the following requirements before bringing your medications to camp:

• Medication must be in its original container

• Medication label must show:

  • Medication Name

  • Correct Dosage

  • Directions for use

  • Your Name (only if prescribed)

When needed, the student can retrieve their medication(s) from Camp Staff and self-administer under supervision. 

*medications that are used to treat acute symptoms or emergencies, typically for Asthma, Allergic Reactions, or Epilepsy

You will receive an individual hand sanitizer on the first day of camp. We will be rotating through various facilities and spending a lot of time outdoors. Your hands will get dirty.

We will have a giant water cooler we lug with us. Bring your own water bottle to fill up throughout the week.

It’s summertime and we are going to be outside. Be sure to bring a hat and/or sunglasses to keep from getting sunburned or sleepy.

Not everyone has one. But we will get the opportunity to go inside some very exclusive operations. If you have one, we recommend bringing it.

In the past, we have had a no cell phone policy. Then cell phones became tiny digital cameras.

You will be expected to keep your phone on airplane mode throughout the day and not use it during the day for anything other than taking pictures. If a staff member sees you using it for anything other than taking pictures, for example, while on the bus or during an activity, they may give you a warning or ask you to turn it off.

If this continues to be a problem they will ask you to leave it in your room for the remainder of the week and then you won’t get to show your parents or your friends the cool things you did at camp.

Students 18+ or turning 18 during camp will need a state issued REAL ID or a state issued photo ID and a US Passport.

Make sure to bring your ID’s with you to camp in order to attend all the activities.

You will be provided an MN ACE Camp string bag with other goodies upon arrival.

Throughout the week, you will also be given free items from Delta and other vendors, including backpacks, water bottles, hats, key chains, etc.

We will ask you to bring one of these bags or a personal backpack each day since we will be gone from early morning to late evening.

You will use your backpack to hold items such as water bottles, logbooks, cameras, etc., each day.

Electronic Chargers, Extension Cord, Tissues, Lip Balm, Disinfecting Wipes, Masks, Snacks, Gum, Cash, Credit/ATM cards, Insurance Cards, House Keys

One will be provided for you, but if you have your own already, bring it! You will be logging real flight hours with certified instructors.

We won’t be able to make our infamous trip to Target on Monday evening this year…

While food and drinks are provided throughout the whole week of camp, we know it is nice to have your own comfort snacks and drinks.

Keep in mind there are no refrigerators in your dorm rooms to store perishable items.
