Hi teachers, please me know if there are mistakes.

Thanks
1
Campers cannot have candy, gum, soda and other snacks so staff are asked to only partake *of* these items in the staff lounge or out of site of the campers.

Is that a typo? I didn't know that an *of* should be used.

2. The lockers are short so shampoo and conditioner that could be on its side might be a good idea.
I don't quite understand how short lockers will be a good idea.

3.
The table tennis dream of Havard's girls.
or
Havard's girls' table tennis dream.

Which of the title is better?

the of is necessary. Also, note the commas.

2. The lockers are short, so shampoo and conditioner that can be stored on its side might be a good idea.

It does not mean that the short lockers are a good idea. It means that the lockers are short, so you might not be able to stand a tall container in an upright position. Because of this they are saying it would be a good idea to bring containers that can be stored on their sides (without leaking).

Harvard Girls' Table Tennis Dream is better. You need Capitals for a title.
