Answer
There's lots of checklists you can look at. The REI lists at http://www.rei.com/expertadvice/articles/family+camping+checklist.html are pretty good. Whether you need to pack everything or someone else in your group handles most of the campsite gear will be something you need to discuss. But I get the impression that you're a teen going with parents, so I'll assume you're just worried about your personal needs.
Tent with poles, stakes and ground sheet
Tarp, easy-up or screen room to eat/hang-out under if it rains
Sleeping bag (or blanket) and mattress or cot
Pillow or pillow case to stuff with spare clothes
Folding chair, stool or camp seat
Clean socks and underwear for each day
Clean shirt and pants every two days
(Note: long shirt sleeves and pants provide better sun, bug and brush protection when hiking. Synthetic materials are lighter, pack more compactly and dry quicker than denim and cotton.)
Bathing suit
Sweat pants, hoodie or sweatshirt, watch cap or toque
Rain poncho or jacket, and pants
Ball cap
Comfortable hiking shoes/boots or cross-trainers
Flip-flops or crocs to wear around camp and in showers
One or two towels (synthetic pack towels work best)
Bath bag w/ soap, shampoo, toothbrush/paste, floss, deodorant, comb
Baby wipes (for quick, waterless clean-ups)
If needed, spare eyeglasses, contact lenses and cleaning stuff
If needed, feminine hygiene supplies
Flashlight & spare batteries
Water bottle
Pocket knife (age/experience dependent)
Signal whistle and/or mirror
Depending on where exactly you're going and the type of camping, you might need other things such as a water filter or purification tablets, bag shower, backpacking stove, cookset, knife/fork/spoon, etc...
You might want to bring a camera, binoculars, journal and pencils, maps, field guides for plants and/or birds, playing cards, or other recreational items.
Usually the adults will take care of food and beverages. If you bring your own the choices depend on the type of camping. If you will have a cooler you can bring almost anything, but without a cooler you'll need to rely on dehydrated meal packets and non-perishable foods such as rice, beans, jerky, canned goods and the like. But remember that you should not bring food in or near your tent to avoid attracting animals, even if it is sealed. Whatever food you bring should be kept in a separate bag and hung at least 10' off the ground, between two trees. Bears, racoons and skunks are present in most NJ campgrounds, but they will not bother you if you keep a clean campsite and prepare, eat and hang your food away from your tent.

What is the BEST hiking baby carrier/backpack for child to be able to move some and be comfortable?
Tarzan-got
My husband is 6'2" and 290lbs and I'm 5'8" and 185---we are not small people. I don't want our daughter to have to do a split in order to sit in the carrier. We want a backpack one because she doesn't like to be right up against us either. We are starting to go hiking regularly and would love to be able to take her with us. She is 2 but only 22 pounds. We'd love for her to be able to move around.
