Packing List

FALL/SPRING CLOTHING LIST

We try to keep the weather from dictating our schedule, so we will be outdoors for most of the time during your stay.   Spring and fall in northern Michigan can sometimes feel like winter. Keeping warm and dry is important, and Dressing in layers is always a good idea. Bring outerwear that you know will keep you comfortable for extended periods of time outside.  Be prepared for cool temperatures or rain.  All clothing should be warm, clean, comfortable and marked with student’s name.
