The field trip program includes many outdoor activities, therefore the following items should be included in your luggage:

Personal:

  • rain gear
  • hiking boots or a very good pair of hiking shoes
  • personal hygiene items (toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo etc.).
  • a towel (bed sheets are provided in Bozen but towels are not).
  • sufficient clothing for the trip (unless you want to do laundry in a laundromat). Remember that the weather can be very unpredictable. You can expect temperatures in Bozen and Venice anywhere between 10 and 30 Celcius. Rain is also a possibility. At higher elevations, it may be colder, bring a fleece or equivalent.
  • a hat (the sun is stronger at higher elevations).
  • a day pack for use in the areas that we will be visiting.
  • any required medication

Activity Related:

  • a small clear plastic ruler. If you do not have one already, I am pretty sure you can get one at any dollar store.
  • Your in-field exercises will require that you have something for writing notes and sketching. Pens and pencils will also prove useful!
  • a camera with film or a digital camera
  • Anything else you think you need (within reason).

Should you forget something --- our destinations are developed countries and you can probably purchase what you need.
