If you do not have some of these items, please contact the farm to
see if we have anything we can loan your child. Students are requested
to bring only what is on the pack list - other items may be collected
and held until departure.
Mark Everything
Please label all student clothing
and items with labels or permanent marker. For clothing it is best to
use a cloth label that is sewn or ironed on (think giant mixed laundry)!
It is also helpful for students to arrive with a list of the things they
brought to the summer program.
Please do not bring (these items will be collected until departure)
- food or other drinks
- electronics (cell phones, smart-watches, digital cameras, ipods, video games, kindles, etc.)
- aerosol sprays (deodorant, bug spray, sunscreen, etc.)
- sandals or open-toed shoes (except for optional flip-flops)
- pocket knives or any other knives
- hand sanitizer
Electronics
The farm thrives on community and a
rustic way of life. In order to get the most out of our program experience, students should not bring any electronic devices including phones,
cameras, tablets, readers, or games. Non-digital cameras are permitted,
but may only be used in public spaces and when they will not disrupt the
program.
