PALISADES MIDDLE SCHOOL

PEEC RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT LIST

Comfortable, practical footgear is essential. Shoes should be sturdy. Sneakers, loafers and sandals are of little use on snowy or wet ground. Boots, gloves, hats, heavy jackets, long underwear and rain gear are needed. A complete set of waterproof gear is recommended. **Please be aware that you will be outside in most weather almost all day long!!!

Name tags are recommended for all personal belongings. The list of essential and optional articles may be placed atop of your suitcase to serve as your packing checklist. Quantities suggested represent those suitable for an overnight residential PEEC experience, but it is good to pack extra if the weather looks bad!
