Storage space is limited on the bus and in the cabins: Each
child is allowed only 2 pieces of luggage, one of which is their sleeping bag or
bedding. Please do not send loose gear. Students need to be able to carry
all their own gear for some distance. Be sure to label all luggage, clothing and
personal items.
*** Important*** When bringing 2 pieces of luggage,
put names on both bags and leave them separate.
This makes loading and unloading the bus easier.
Please assist you child to pack his/her own gear. It is essential that the children know what they've brought.
Bring Old Clothes: You're going to spend a lot of time outside. You will get dirty.
Do not bring: Electronic or electrical devices (except camera & flashlight), food, gum, candy, money, hatchets or knives.
Packing tip: Put each day's primary layer clothing in a jumbo zip lock bag. Clean clothes will be readily accessible, and dirty clothes can be returned to the bag. Chaperones will appreciate this time saving method. Two of our greatest challenges are to get 20+ sleepy heads out the door for our early breakfast call, and to get the 20+ kids to keep their cabin clean.
