3rd Grade Class Trip Packing List

Since weather conditions can vary widely, we recommend layering clothing rather than bringing one-purpose clothing. All clothing should be marked with student’s name. This is an active outdoor program and valuable clothing or jewelry is highly discouraged. Fashion statements are superfluous to this trip, and grass stains and mud are very possible.

• 3-4 t-shirts/short-sleeve shirts
• 2 pairs jeans/pants
• 1-2 long sleeve shirts (1 flannel or turtleneck is nice)
• 1 sweatshirt or fleece (polar fleece is warm even when damp, unlike cotton)
• Medium-weight jacket (a wind-proof one is especially good)
• Rainwear
• 4 changes underwear
• 5-6 pairs socks
• Pajamas or sweats
• Sleeping bag or sheets/blanket
• Towel / washcloth
• Toiletries
• Medications (Contact your teacher for information how these are handled)
• Two pair of shoes, one of which is a good sturdy shoe or boot for hiking
   (A good sneaker is adequate, but not lightweight “Keds” or such)
• Water Bottle (at least 1 liter) - can be a soda bottle.
• Book bag or knapsack for food, water and extra clothing on hikes

OPTIONAL

• Pair or two of shorts in case it is unusually warm
• Swimsuit/Towel (if there will be a lifeguard available)

The students are offered full, nutritious meals at the camp. Please do not send any form of food or snack. No electronic devices (such as iPods or discman) are allowed. Students may not have cell phones; the camp has a landline and cell phones for emergencies.
