Unpacking vehicles on a trip

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.
