Packing

Use our Personal Camping List to ensure you pack the needed items and see our Personal Camping Gear page for descriptions of most of the items needed and for how to use the checklist. You can pack your stuff in a backpack (the big kind - this is preferred on this trip), a duffle bag or a tub. Specific items to bring:

• Water bottles (2)
• Full uniform (as for just about any event) - wear this.
• Cold Weather Clothing - We plan to spend significant time outdoors (in New England in Winter), so dress appropriately.
• Food - Each patrol should plan to provide 2 breakfasts, 1 lunch and 1 dinner. Participants bring your own drinks and food for snacks.

Travel

• Meet at the Epworth United Methodist Church parking lot at 6:00 PM Friday for departure by 6:15 PM.
• Travel to the Camp Squanto entrance is about 1 hour 50 minutes from Epworth United Methodist Church. Only the participating adults will drive to the camp. We will most likely park in the main parking area and use sleds to transport our gear to the cabin over level ground.
• Estimated return to the church is 12:00 PM (+/- 1 hour) on Sunday. We will call family members as our timing becomes more clear..
