Stuff to bring:

• Pillow
• Can opener
• Dishes(plastic works, 1 set), silverware, sealable containers
• Sports Stuff (Volleyball, frisbee, football, etc.)
• MOSQUITO REPELLENT (or a shotgun, it's more effective)
• Rain Gear
• Sleeping bag and pad
• Tent
  If you plan on camping at all (trust me, you will), the above four items will come in handy. I know it's hard to pack but it's worth it. Most weekends the Outdoor Adventures group has checked out all equipment from the Activities Center and they won't be available...
• Bikes are all but essential. If you have a good bike it's worth the price to have it shipped up (through the airline is usually cheapest). A reasonable, used mountain bike will cost anywhere from $100 to $200 here. Road bikes are usually less than $100. Also, grocery stores are at least 1 1/2 miles away. Bikes make the shopping commute much easier.

• Make plans to cash checks at home or open an account in Fairbanks.
