What to Bring

You guys are leaving in just over a week from today! I am very excited for what God is going to do on this trip. I hope that you have been praying for God to prepare you and those that we serve. Here is a list of things to bring:

What to Bring

  • Work Clothing-Something you don't mind ruining (all shirts must have sleeves, modest shorts)
  • Tennis Shoes/Work Boots-Something you don't mind ruining.
  • Work Gloves
  • Casual Clothes-All shirts must have sleeves. Keep clothing extremely modest.
  • Leisure Footwear-Sandals and flip-flops are acceptable at the camp.
  • Shower Shoes-Sandals or flip-flops work great!
  • Toiletries-Soap, shampoo, towel, washcloth, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant
  • Sunscreen-This is not optional. Everybody will wear sunscreen. The sun in Alabama is more intense than the sun in Northern Indiana.
  • Insect Repellent-You think they're bad here...
  • Swimsuit-Not sure if we'll get to swim, but just in case (1-piece or 2-piece that covers the belly button)
  • Water Bottle-Something with a wide mouth. 5 gallon drink coolers will be at each site.
  • Bible, notebook, pen
  • Extra money for souvenirs, snacks, etc...-Everything you need is already paid for
Optional
  • Flashlight
  • Camera
  • Hat (to block the southern sun)
  • Games (playing cards, etc...)
  • Tools (if you have a few that you like better than loaners)
What NOT to Bring
  • Cell Phone
  • MP3 Player/iPod
  • Other electronic devices
Please go over this list several times. If you need work clothes, Goodwill is a great place to get extra t-shirts and shorts on the cheap. Try to keep your luggage to one luggage bag and a carry on that you don't mind sitting with on a bus. I am waiting to hear back from the organization about whether we need bedding or not.

You guys will be leaving early Sunday morning, but I do not have the exact time yet. I will let you know as soon as I get that, but I would anticipate it being around 4-5 am slow. Comment on here if you have questions.
