What to Bring

  1. Most students OVERPACK and end up taking the majority of items back at Thanksgiving. Think about what you used during the summer, plus some warmer winter clothes.
  2. Here are some other helpful suggestions:
    • Air mattress and sleeping bag for colporteur blitzes; regular twin-sized bedding for during class time.
    • During school time we wear “colporteur-appropriate” clothes (ladies—nice skirts, shirts; gentlemen—collared shirts, slacks). However when classes are done, any clothes may be worn within dress code.
    • Layers or a warm jacket for the winter.  It does snow some here.
    • Swimwear (colporteur standards—shorts and t-shirts)
    • Bring backpacking/camping gear, including appropriate clothing and footwear (tent not necessary).
Strongly Suggested Items:
 
  • Laptop Computer—Some students solely use the computer lab, but it makes taking notes in class much more efficient.
  • Complete Published Writings of Ellen White on CD-ROM:
    • Only $20.00
    • It will save money on buying individual books needed for both years.
    • Includes the writings of the pioneers, a dictionary, historical works, and quite a bit more.
    • You can order it at www.adventistbookcenter.com or purchase it at your local ABC.
  • If you plan to purchase the following material from us you will need up to $200.00.
  • USB
