What to bring (08 April 2008)

Hey worktrippers - only two days to go!

Here's a list of what people should bring:

  • Work clothes, including sturdy foot wear
  • Nice clothes for church
  • Sleeping bag, pillow, and camping mattress or pad
  • Towel, toiletries
  • Bathing suit
  • Insect repellent and sunscreen (important, it’s easy to burn)
  • A water bottle
  • Something warm like a fleece or sweater
  • Money for about 7 meals on the road (normally fast food stops)
  • A work belt with a few basic tools: measuring tape, utility knife, pencils, hammer, work gloves
  • Optional (if you have them and can bring them): drill, staple gun, chalk line, saws, other tools
  • Fun things: musical instruments, games, cards, Frisbees
  • iPods for personal listening.

We ask that people not bring laptops

We will supply hard hats. Safety is important to us!

If you want to bring a camera or video camera to make a record of our week, please do! Its great to have afterwards, and some students have used this opportunity to do a school art or writing project.

We like to have people bring snacks for the bus, especially fruit and non-junk food!
