What to Pack
All of your items should be clearly labeled with your name! Make sure that your luggage is labeled with both your name and your cabin name.
There is no need to go out and buy anything new for Outdoor Ed. We're going to get dirty and rained on, you don't want to ruin anything new!
DO NOT OVERPACK! You have to carry everything you bring!
