Packing List

The general XA trip packing list is below.  For trips that involve more outdoor activities or camping, we will email you this summer with a list of additional items to bring (ie: yoga trip, biking trips, etc.) We recommend that you pack all these items in your backpack or a duffle bag (no hard suitcases). When you arrive on campus you can move all your worldly goods for the entire year into your room on campus. You will then spend the first night in this room.  If possible, it’s best to have your trip bag packed ahead of time, as there won’t be a lot of extra time on Tuesday or Wednesday morning to get everything together.  If you have any last minute questions about what to bring or leave behind, XA staff and your trip leaders can help to answer those questions via email this summer, or when you meet them in person on Tuesday, August 19.
