Please remember, this a five day adventure trip. We participate in activities in the morning, afternoon, and
evening, so pack your bag with APPROPRIATE gear, meaning…
• Be sure you have plenty of underwear, socks, t-shirts, and gym-type shorts.
2. • No spaghetti strap or tank tops.
• Do NOT bring snacks and candy. Students are fed three very filling, adolescent-friendly meals
per day and a snack at night. Please remember that food attracts bugs and mice; Camp Wartburg
has plenty of those. We’d like to keep them out of our cabins!
