Packing List

​Economize when packing, but bring what you need.

​

There is a washer and dryer at Grace House, but it is only used in emergency situations.

​

Plan for about 8 changes of clothes for daily, work or church attire.

​

Daily attire - Casual clothes (shorts, tees, tank-tops jeans) while on the campus and in surrounding areas.

  • 3-days of non-working casual clothes

  • 7-days of undergarments, socks,

  • Hat or head covering

  • Jackets or rain gear

  • Hoodies or jacket

  • Tennis shoes, sneakers, slides, casual shoes for non-worksite activities

  • Bathing suit, water shoes

  • Sunglasses or shades

  • Backpack or small bag for day trips

 

Worksite attire

Work clothes may be permanently stained or damaged.

  • 5-days of work clothes; shorts or long pants; t-shirts or long sleeve shirts

  • Hard soled work shoes and/or hiking boots;  opened toed shoes on worksites are less preferred

  • Work gloves

  • Safety glasses (we have these at the center, but most people prefer their own)

​

Church services on Sunday or Wednesday

  • Collared shirts, blouses and casual pants, capri pants, slacks, skirt or dress.

  • Shorts of any type, jeans or sleeveless tops are less preferred.

 

Sundries

  • Personal medications (adult chaperones will hold and administer, if requested)

  • Spending money for soft drinks, snacks, and buddy bags – we recommend about $50. This also needs to cover lunch on the way down and breakfast on the way back. We encourage a donation to the church we attend on Sunday morning or Wednesday

  • Pillow, sleeping bag or bed linens with blanket

  • Toiletries (towels, wash cloth, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, eye care, hair care, deodorant, baby wipes)

  • Insect repellent

  • Sun screen

  • Small personal fan

  • Camera

  • Flashlight

  • Board games, cards and other games

  • Coloring books, markers, crayons, pencils

  • Phone Card - if cell phone is not in roaming

  • Musical equipment - guitars, horns, flutes, small drum kits

  • Sport equipment - basketball, volleyball, football, badminton or other lawn games.  Lawn darts are prohibited.

  • Consider only bringing valuables small enough to store in the car while at the work sites.

​

Drivers - Worksites are often muddy and the type of work leave riders extremely soiled. 

  • Reusable or throwaway covers for vehicle seats
