What to Bring
Bring a check for $35 to check-in made out to Beantown Camp for your room key/meal card deposit. Your check will be ripped up or returned to you at checkout when you turn in your meal card and key. There will be a drop box if you are unable to check out during scheduled times.
Endicott would like all those with cars parking on campus to put the linked Parking Pass in their windshield.
Bring ID and proof of up to date vaccines/boosters to check-in! If you have previously provided your vaccine status, such as at Beantown 2022 or the Boston Skye & Naomi weekend, you do not need to provide proof. If taking the International Registration Discount, please bring your driver’s license showing your home address.
Face masks, specifically N95, KN95, KF94, or surgical masks. The safety level is vastly different with these highly protective masks vs other types. Mask wearing overall is optional, however, there may be a situation where you will need one.
Covid-19 at home tests to have available if needed.
A selection of comfortable dance shoes is recommended. Most dances spaces have wood floors, one is marley.
Water bottle. There are water refill stations in most buildings. A limited number of water bottles will be available.
Bring shoes to chrome!! If you want to turn a wonderfully comfortable pair of shoes into full time dance shoes in which you can effortlessly slide across the floor, a shoe chroming party will be offered during the weekend. Find more info on the Special Classes page.
Prepare yourself for Beantown Revue! This variety show on Tuesday night is one of the not-to-be-missed highlights of the week—full of suspense, drama, comedy, and entertainment. If you have a special talent, perhaps a fun skit, or something else you or a group would like to share, start planning your act! Don’t forget to pack that rainbow wig, juggling balls, batons, kazoo or whatever you’ll need to showcase your ultimate stardom at Beantown 2023!
Dance items to sell in the Camp Shop (15% commission).
Yoga mat or towel for the afternoon stretch classes.
A musical instrument if you would like to participate in music jams planned and unplanned throughout the week.
Linens are provided which are basic and consist of a bath towel, pillow, blanket and set of sheets. There is no housekeeping service or linen exchange. You may want to bring extra towels (preferably bright colored ones so as not to get them mixed up with the linen provided), and if you have a favorite pillow, bring that too! You do need to bring your own toiletries (face cloth, soap, shampoo, cups, etc.).
There are 3 private beaches on campus and you may want bring your bathing suit and beach accessories!
Sports equipment you might like for extra activities on campus: volleyball, tennis, the fitness center, running or biking.
You may want some cash to make purchases in the Camp Shop, snacks at the Beantown Café, incidentals, and private lessons.
Cool, comfortable clothes for classes. All dance spaces are air-conditioned. Most people like to get a bit dressed up for the evening dances, especially on band nights. Overall, it’s camp and it’s casual.
Other items you may want to bring:
dance bag to carry your stuff
snacks, as there are limited food options on campus outside of meals
