What to Bring

WEATHER AND OUTFITS

While most days during the summer are warm it can be quite chilly during the early morning hours and evenings, especially towards the beginning and the end of the summer. Therefore, it is necessary to bring warm clothes such as sweatshirts and light jackets as well as long pants for all occasions. Rain gear is also essential including boots for the muddy conditions after a rainstorm.

BEDDING

Bunk staff members from the US should bring bed sheets, comforters/ blankets, and pillows/pillowcases (cot or twin size). These items may be mailed directly to camp. Sleeping bags may not be used in cabins as bedding. 

International staff will be provided with a bedding set: sheets, comforter/blanket, pillow, pillowcase, and two towels.
