Each girl should be able to carry ALL of her own belongings in one go. The following is a packing list of what they should bring and also a list of what will be provided.

Each Kishori will bring:

1 Duffel bag : 20 inch maximum

1 Back Pack : bring your own average size back pack

Bedding : Sleeping bag (should roll as small as possible), travel pillow (half the size of a regular pillow) and a twin size sheet.
