Packing

Please do not over-pack, as space in our accommodations is very limited! Suitcases are not allowed on this trip and students are encouraged to pack belongings in backpacks or duffel bags. You may also want a separate daypack to hold an extra shirt, water bottle, camera, etc. You will not have a place to lock up your belongings during the trip, so it is suggested that you limit what valuables you bring to those which can be carried in your daypack.

Clothing

The weather in Maine during August can range from high 50s at night to 90s during the day. Shorts, jeans, lightweight shirts, and a jacket or sweatshirt for layering are best. You will need clothes and shoes that can get dirty at service sites as well as comfortable, casual clothes for recreational activities (such as going to dinner).
