I'm going on a week long camping adventure in a couple of weeks. I need to know what to bring and expect?

I haven't ever gone on week long camping trips since I was little and I went with my parents.
We have the essentials, you know, tent, air mattress, clothes, food, dishes, ect. What else should i be absolutely sure to bring?

Also, we will be staying on the Missouri river in Huntsdale, MO. I was checking out some sites. And there is a possibility of flash floods due to summer heat (July) and thunderstorms. What can I do to protect myself from being washed away as i sleep?? Help!

Sorry for the wrong category, it wasn't getting any hits in Travel.

bug spray!!!!! sunscreen!!!!! If you can possibly stand the smell, bring a mixture of one part vinegar, one half part cumin to spread around your tent, that will keep most bugs away, or spray the outside of the tent with the bug spray (that one doesn't always work though)

unfortunately, I don't really know much to do about the rain part, but I think if you made sure your tent has a bottom and a tarp underneath, then put a tarp inside too, and put sleeping pads under all the mattresses, you shouldn't get too wet
