Trek Packing Tips

✓ Label all personal belongings.

✓ Expect warm days, & cool evenings.

✓ Wear shoes that have already been broken in—never brand-new footwear on trek.

✓ Bring a positive attitude and a willingness to work, serve, and have fun together as a family!

• On the Trail Pack Light—each person is suggested to bring about one 5-gallon bucket worth of supplies. Every pound packed is a pound pushed!
