Trek Packing Instructions

Personal Packing List Trek 2026

Sleeping bag, sleeping pad, pillow, and shoes should be placed in a single durable garbage bag or duffel bag.  All other items must fit in your 5-gallon bucket.  Label your plastic bag/duffel and bucket with your name and ward. All your items will be transported under the charter buses- keep things clean in the garbage bag.

We recommend taking a long walk or hike in the shoes and socks you will wear to make sure they don’t cause blisters. If you do get blisters, apply medical tape to the at-risk areas in the morning before we leave camp.
