ITEMS YOU SHOULD BRING
We hope the following list is helpful in preparing you for your stay with us. We suggest you pack for 5-7 days away from home. Make certain you include comfortable clothes. For example, sneakers and sweats are great. You’ll have liberal access to the laundry, so 1 or 2 bags should suffice.
