Just a few recaps: Children should wear waterproof/hiking shoes/boots or come prepared with an extra pair of sneakers. Â The adventure begins immediately! We might begin with our hike or water ecology. Both may require students to work near a pond and shoes are often muddy by the end of the collection of specimens/hike.
.
We suggest that students carry a SMALL backpack, with a few layers as we often encounter numerous weather conditions in one day! Â Don't forget a water bottle!
Here are a couple reminders to help you with last-minute packing and planning:
· We plan to depart by 7:45 a.m. Please arrive no later than 7:30,  We will meet in front of the school.
· You do not need a pillow, we ordered linen as part of the package. A sleeping bag/blanket may be needed for extra warmth.
-You WILL need a towel!
· Bags will be delivered to our lodges. Try to pack everything into ONE large duffel bag.
· Bring an extra pairs of comfortable shoes
· Bring double the number of socks
· Consider packing a poncho or a waterproof jacket in case of rain
· Bring a hat and gloves
· Plan on dressing in layers—it will be very cool/cold in the morning and evening, but the days could be warm
· Check the weather for Claryville, New York and plan appropriate clothing
· NO electronics are permitted—even on the bus. Books, cards, puzzle/game books, etc. are satisfactory
For Families:
When we arrive to Frost Valley, we will contact the school to let them know we arrived safely. Sharon Lustig will send out an e-mail to families.
When we leave on Wednesday, once we are in cell range, we will call the school with an e.t.a. of our arrival. Sharon will also send an e-mail Wednesday afternoon so you can plan accordingly. We hope to be back around 4:00 p.m.
The bus will arrive and return students in front of the school.
Please don’t call the school for frequent check-ins.
We are SO excited about this year's trip! Please return all forms by 10-16-19!
