Youth Property
Camp Florence provides all youth with essential items: regular clothing, work clothing (including rain gear and boots), bedding, hygiene, and food.
Youth often have an opportunity to go on supervised trips into the community to go shopping, work, or go on outings with staff or family.
Youth at Camp Florence may wear personal clothing, as long as it’s appropriate.
Packages
Youth can receive packages in the mail, or you can bring personal items when you visit.
- Staff will search and review all items before giving them to youth.
- Do not include contraband items — it’s a Class C felony to provide these items to youth in custody.
-
Please do not mail food or drinks.
Each youth has one storage box that is about the size of a large suitcase. The overall storage space at camp is limited. Please keep this in mind when deciding how many items to bring or send to your youth.
