Your RUF staff might give you additional guidelines for things to bring, but here is a basic packing list:
(keep in mind that there is not a lot of space in the rooms at Laguna)

• Sheets & blanket (or sleeping bag), pillow (most beds are singles, but there are some doubles/queens)**
• Casual clothes, beachwear
• Towels (at least two — one for bathing and one for the beach) **
• Personal toiletries
• Bible, notebook, pen
• Extra money for dinner out, book table, and SuCo merch
• Sunscreen, refillable water bottle, sunglasses/hat
• Any necessary medications

Also recommended/optional:
Shower shoes and/or water shoes (there might be crabs in the water)
Earplugs and eye masks for sleeping (Not everyone is quiet at the same time.)
Mattress pad
If you wear glasses or sunglasses, it is highly recommended that you wear croakies at all times in the water. (Seriously, sunburn and/or not being able to see ruins the week.)

It’s a good idea to put your name on anything you care about in case it is left behind or lost.
