Items to Bring:
Special note for Sr. High Workcamp - PLEASE minimize the amount of gear you bring. We will only have two Grand Caravans without rooftop carriers and six people per van. DO NOT BRING Hard Suitcases. It is preferred to bring a large duffel bag in which you can pack your sleeping bag, air mattress and clothes. Plus a carry-on backpack.

Air mattress
Sleeping bag and pillow (small pillow for Sr. High)
Flashlight
Hat or visor
Insect repellent
Sunscreen
Wash kit including soap and shampoo
Bath towels and shower shoes
Swimsuit
Laundry bag (your work clothes will smell)
Poncho or raincoat
Sturdy shoes or work boots
Working shorts or long jeans (Two pairs for working)
Working shirts (they will get dirty and/or paint on them)
Casual clothes for non-working hours e.g. evening program or free time

Additional lessons learned from prior workcamps are below:

Bring something comfortable to sleep on such as an air mattress, soft pad, or cot. Remember you will be sleeping on classroom floors.

Bring spending money for souvenirs such as workcamp shirts and hats, and unanticipated costs. Sr. High workcampers also need money for meals to/from Maine.

Regarding what to wear, remember you are representing Christ the King. Don’t bring shirts that have pictures, logos, wording that wouldn’t be appropriate for church workcamp. Also, for the girls, please do not bring spaghetti strap shirts. This was a problem in past years. For during the day work, you should bring t-shirts that you wouldn’t mind throwing away. This is particularly true for those assigned painting jobs.

Remember you will have group showers like any Middle/High School. Bring one or two towels, swim suit and shower sandals. Personal hygene items (soap,shampoo,deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrush, etc.)

Tools as described on the Group Workcamp list.

Put your tools in a small fishing tackle box or plastic container. Helpful hint: Label all items with return address labels.

Please don't bring anything that you would be concerned about losing because there is no secure place to keep things either in the school or in the vans we are taking. WorkCamp does not allow electronic equipment such as CD Players, Radios, Tape Players, etc.

Financial Responsibility:
The registration fee was fee $385 and we raised approximately $200 per youth leaving a balance of $110 (accounting for the $75 deposit) to be paid by each workcamper. Please pay the balance to the church prior to the start of workcamp. Also, if you elect not to go to work camp within 60 days prior to the start date, you will be responsible for the entire $385 provided the spot is not filled by another youth.
