Things to Remember

• Bring a bag lunch for Sunday
• Packing space will be limited, try to stay with two suitcases/ bags + sleeping bag
• Bring a pillow!!
• Bring your running shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• You can bring snacks, but remember, you don’t want to attract insects and “critters” into your sleeping areas
• I will have a large water jug to fill with water, but no cups, please bring a “water bottle.” You may bring additional drinks.
• There is a snack stand in the recreation center, so you might want to bring some money, but you don’t need to have a lot
• You may bring electronically devices (camera, boom box…), but I don’t want to take 12 stereos. No video games please.
• Same with fans, you may want to bring them, but we should only need 3 max.
• In case running shoes get wet, you might want to bring some newspaper along to stuff in and dry them out.
• Cell phone reception will probably be poor. There are pay phones at camp. You can bring it, but remember, the purpose of camp is team building, please interact with your teammates during the week.
