What to Pack
The gear bag you bring to store your belongings should be waterproof and made of a sturdy material so that it holds upthrough the week. To ensure clothing stays dry, pack clothes in large plastic bags, press flat to remove excess air, then seal. Also, mark your bag in some manner (bright colored ribbon or tape) to help distinguish it. And please don’t use sharp-edged straps or buckles on the outside.

***Please note: A washer and dryer will be available for use during our 2-day stay in Sumter***
