TMAN goes camping
June 19-21, 2009
Camp to be set up by sundown Friday June 19th and return home after lunch on Sunday June 21th
We’ve reserve 4 campsites so there should be plenty of space for anyone who’s said they’re coming.
CAMPING TRIP SUPPLY LIST
We are very excited to be going on our 2nd camping trip. In order to help everyone who wants to come along, we have gathered a list of items you may need to bring with you. The items you need will depend on your own comfort. Please get with others who are planning to go to discuss any items you may be able to share to cut down on the cost (2 or 3 can share 1 tent, one person may bring all the soap for a group and the other may bring all the toothpaste, etc.). If you need help getting any of these supplies, please let someone know so we can arrange to help you. We want to make this fun for everybody!
Walmart has great prices on a lot of the stuff you’ll need, and they have a good selection of stuff you don’t need but that might be nice. If you have questions about which type or brand of an item to buy, don’t be afraid to ask!

Tent
Tent fan
Lantern, flashlight, or headlamp
Sleeping bag, big ass blanket
Sleeping pad, air mattress, or cot
Sheet, pillow

Food (things that will not spoil if not on ice – snacks, tuna, nuts)
