Please do not buy new clothes for your child to wear at Nature’s Classroom. Send old clothes (for example, clothes which your child can no longer use for school) that you don’t mind your child getting dirty during outdoor activities.
Please make sure that every personal item (shoes, clothes, cameras, etc.) is clearly labeled with your child’s name.
If possible, pack your child’s clothing and equipment in a duffel bag. But remember – the child must be able to maneuver the bag! It would be better to have two medium-sized totes rather than one which the child cannot lift.
Items listed below are suggested, not mandatory. Use your own judgement and discretion while packing.
_____ 1 sleeping bag or bedroll
_____ OR twin sheets and blanket
_____ pillow and pillowcase
