Eagle’s Nest Staff Suggested Packing List
Some things to keep in mind when packing for the summer:
- You will work hard and get dirty, so leave delicate clothing and jewelry at home.
- The weather varies greatly from night to day, so bring layers!
- Personal storage is limited to one set of four small shelves per staff member and underneath your bed.
- It is much easier to keep your area clean if you limit your packing to the necessities!
- It is a good idea to label your clothes.
- Keep it simple and lean more towards under packing than over packing. You really don’t need as much as you think you’ll need.
