* Socks and undergarments
* Trash bag for your dirty clothes (helpful when repacking)
* 1 or 2 Plastic grocery bags or backpack (helpful for days we won’t be able to return to the hotel to change between activities)

* Hat/sunglasses (optional – but helpful for work projects)
* Snacks for the hotel room (optional)
* iPods (optional, but must be left in hotel rooms, some students like having them to fall asleep to, but they are not to be brought to the work sites, bring at own risk)
* Cell phones (optional, but must be left in hotel rooms, there will be no reason to have them with you as parents will have emergency numbers for a contact and the urge to check your texts or voicemails will be a distraction)
* Spending Money
* ALL meals, transportation and lodging is covered
* We will have a team activity the cost of which is covered, but you may want some money for extra snacks/souvenirs.

WHAT NOT TO BRING
* Do NOT bring tank-tops, cut-off t-shirts, short shorts, offensive or crude shirts… You get the point. Dress with respect and modesty.
