What to bring list for Unknown Destination trip

A week before the event, send out a "What to Bring" list. This also can be done playfully. Always include "red-herring" items that will not be necessary for the trip but might cause the participants to guess incorrectly what they will be doing. Do try to think through all the items they will or even might need to have on the trip. Many youth and parents will be concerned about how much money will be needed. As expressed in other posts, it is a good idea to have all necessary costs of the trip - food, fees, tickets, etc. - covered by the single fee charged and to have available subsidies or scholarships). After assuring them that they won't have to have any additionally money, it is well to stay out of any discussion of how much spending money will be needed since this is a completely personal issue.

As soon as I can, I will put a sample "What to Bring"  on the Documents page.
