GENERAL PACKING LIST
The majority of class time is spent outdoors, especially during spring, summer, and fall. We recommend packing as if you were taking a camping trip the length of your course. Please consider the weather and climate in South Carolina as temperatures can range from hot to cold, and conditions can change quickly from dry to wet. We highly encourage students to bring items that will enhance their learning experience, but avoid items that might distract you or anyone else from learning. We have complied a required packing list, and an additional general list of items to bring. Printable Packing List
