So that’s basically it for the fundamental things that you’ll need for Key Leader. You can bring anything else that tickles your fancy. However, I wouldn’t suggest bringing things that are really valuable to you because you’ll be sharing a cabin with about 30 other people (of the same gender). You won’t need cash or anything. Also, if you’re thinking about bringing your homework…don’t sweat it, you won’t be doing your homework during the free time. You’ll be spending time with the people you meet there. You also won’t need a backpack or anything.

They’ll give you pens, a notebook, and a water bottle. Don’t bring snacks either. They have snacks there. Food also invites wild animals into your cabin…you don’t want that. :P Anyway, have an open mind when you get there and don’t be afraid to try new things.

Remember that Key Leader isn’t about spending time with people you already know. Key Leader is about meeting new people; as the weekend goes on, you’ll realize that the best person you’ll meet there is yourself. See you guys there! :D ~Valerie P.S. – Arrive around 4:00-6:00pm. I can’t promise that the bunks that you want will be open…call me if you need anything! (609-742-3868)
