Note:    There is a charge of $25 each way from Continental Airlines for the first bag checked and $35 for the second bag checked each way! You must pay your own baggage fees at the airport. Pack efficiently and carefully to fit in one bag and a day pack. You will have an opportunity at each camp to wash clothes in a washtub during the trip.

Each student should bring a daypack such as the one used to carry your books at school. Most daypacks can be carried on the plane as carry-on luggage at no cost. Please review the guidelines at: http://www.continental.com/web/en-US/content/travel/baggage/excess.aspx if you have any questions as to the Continental Airlines baggage policies. Baggage CANNOT weigh more than 50 pounds per suitcase or it will have an extra charge. Also insure that no liquids are carried in the daypack.

Comfort not Style -- Clothes for the trip should be comfortable- not stylish. Pants that droop are unpleasant to hike in. Please do NOT bring many clothes that are black—black clothes can increase the likelihood of heat stroke or heat exhaustion as we spend our days in the sun.   Note that when a specific type of item is listed, it is listed for a reason- which is safety and comfort. Please insure that you bring all of the below items. Note that our camps do NOT provide sheets or towels-- you will need to bring them.

Do NOT bring: hair dryers, curling or flat irons, other electric appliances – you can’t use them, so save the weight! Cell phone and camera are okay to bring. Cell phones will be collected when we reach camp. Do not count on using your cell phone as a camera. This will not be allowed.

Remember not to have liquids over 3 oz in your carry on backpack. Questions? See the Woods Project Facebook Group for FAQ answers or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with specifics.
