When unpacking a vehicle or vehicles at
an overnight stop, at the destination or at the end of the trip:
- Allow people to remove their travel items (backpack, pillows,
etc) then either have everyone or a large subgroup return for
unpacking the vehicle(s).
- Allow no one to dig for their own bags. This is contrary to
human nature and a real learning experience for the youth and a
trial for the adults.
- Each person is to “grab and go:” grab a bag or armload
and carry it into the building, depositing it in a large area such
as a foyer, then returning for another load.
- Some adult should supervise the unloading while another keeps
sending the youth back out.
- When a group gets the idea this can be very efficient and
quick.
- When the entire vehicle are unloaded, including your stuff
and the group's common items, show the youth their living spaces and
let them find their personal belongings and move in.
- Help those who left something in a vehicle. They can pick up
and bring in the trash while they are at it.
