What to bring

Bring this

• Bible, notebook, and pen
• Shorts, t-shirts, and casual clothes for evenings
• Very messy clothes — some may come home permanently stained; that’s a sign of a good week
• One-piece swimsuit and a plastic bag for wet items
• Bedding — twin sheets or a sleeping bag — plus a pillow
• Towels (pool and shower) and personal hygiene items
• Sunscreen, insect repellent, and a flashlight
• More than one pair of shoes (see “messy clothes,” above)
• Snacks and a little spending money for the gift shop

Leave this at home

• Cell phones — please don’t send one with your child; a week unplugged is half the magic, and we’ll call you right away if anything comes up
• Firearms, weapons, alcohol, tobacco, and anything else you’d expect on this list
