8th Grade Retreat Packing List + Info

Dates/times: Students need to be at Sunnyside by 8:00 AM on Thursday March 1st.  We will return between 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM on Friday March 2nd (depending on traffic).  Please be here to pick up your student at that time.

Meeting place: Please meet in the auditorium Thursday morning. There, your student will find an area designated by core teacher where they will put their duffle bag, clearly marked with the student’s name (consider putting luggage, pillow and sleeping bag in a large trash bag together). Students will also need a daypack on the bus with them containing school supplies, a sack lunch and a water bottle.

Medications: On Thursday morning, a staff member will be available to collect medications. Please bring all medications in their original prescription bottle or container, contained within a gallon-sized Ziploc bag marked with your student’s name. We will also have a medication form to fill out when you drop off the medication. This includes all medications, over-the-counter, vitamins, supplements and prescriptions.

*Food allergies/dietary restrictions: Please let Eliza - ecoblent@pps.net  know as soon as possible if there are any allergies or food restrictions. This allows us to accommodate your child or to know whether you will be sending supplemental food with your student on the trip.

Birthdays: If your student has a birthday while we are on the retreat, please inform Eliza at the above email.

Packing list: Daily Planner Sharpened pencils Lunch for the first day Layered clothing for all weather - warm, cold and rainy – include raincoat, boots, extra socks and undergarments, hat, warm pajamas, etc. Sleeping bag and pillow Toiletries - deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, hygiene items, etc. (no makeup) Water bottle Day pack Flashlight DO NOT bring electronics.  There is no cell phone reception at camp. DO NOT bring personal snacks. No food is allowed in cabin.

Personal belongings need to be packed in a small, well-contained bag.  No large suitcases, please!

You are responsible for your own gear--please label it and make sure to take care of it.

Behavior: Please have a conversation with your student about appropriate behavior while at camp with many other students. School rules apply at camp.

We want all students to have fun and learn; however, to accomplish this, adequate rest is required during “down time.” Quiet hours need to be very quiet. Also, please encourage your student to take time to talk with students they may not know very well. This is a great opportunity to meet new people!

Emergency contact: The emergency contact number at Camp is 503-371-4064 (this will get you to the nurse).

Thanks for helping us provide this wonderful opportunity for our students!
