Retreat Packing List
August 14, 2007 11:10 am
If you’re like me, you won’t start packing until next Wednesday morning. But if you like to plan ahead, here is a suggested packing list for the retreat.
- Bible, notebook, pen
- Flip-flops or sandals for the shower
- Bug repellent
- Sleeping bag or bed linens, and a pillow (some rooms provide them, but be safe: bring your own)
- Towel, soap, shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste/brush, dental floss, etc.
- Sunglasses, sunscreen, hat
- Modest clothing (please plan on serving)
- Grungy clothes & sneakers (for outdoor fun & games)
- Flashlight + fresh batteries
- Alarm Clock (don’t be late!)
- Small bills/change for the snack bar
- Breath mints
- Snipe bait
What NOT to bring:
- iPods, MP3 Players, CD players, etc… YES, I AM SERIOUS. Sort of. You can bring them, just don’t bring them out. I know that some people will want to listen to their iPod during their quiet time or as they fall asleep (to drown out the snoring). That is fine. But our retreat is a unique time to reach out and serve others. Remember the five15 Challenge. So other than your quiet time and falling asleep, leave your iPod in your suitcase. If I see it out, I will ask you to put it away.
- Immodest clothes, or anything with a logo or graphic that wouldn’t reflect well on the Savior or on our church.

Hmmm… Some good old fashioned Snipe hunting?
Absolutely. What retreat would be complete without a little snipe hunt? I love snipe. Tastes like chicken.
exactly one week!! I can’t wait!!! I was looking at the site of the retreat place and I saw that there are a lot of different places to sleep in….what do we have?? I’m guessing the cabins but i wasn’t sure…
Steve,
Are we going to be allowed to use the pool?
Sorry, the pool will be closed. We can’t swim in the lake either since it is infested with snapping turtles and copperheads.
Do the snapping turtles and copperheads eat snipe as part of their normal diet? Or vice versa?
Care to comment?
