Packing List

Before deciding what to pack, consider that many items that are brought to BSM become dirty, damaged or lost. To prevent loss, please mark all luggage and clothing with the student's name. New items such as footwear may require "breaking in." With this in mind, Blue Sky Meadow provides "borrow wear," items such as jackets and boots that we loan the students for the week. Since space on the busses is limited, please limit your child's luggage to a sleeping bag or bedroll, and one suitcase or duffel bag. Also, pay close attention to our "Do Not Bring" list at the bottom of the page.
