We will be at Rainbow Trail Lutheran Camp in Hillside, Colorado.  The elevation is 8500 feet above sea level.  Predicted highs for the weekend are in the 50’s with lows at night in the 20’s.  We will be sleeping in heated, but rusic, cabins.  Cell phone coverage is next to nothing. 

The camp phone number is (719) 942-4220.  Parents in need of contacting us can leave a message with the camp staff. 

BRING:

YOUR BIBLE, a pen or pencil.  We supply the paper.

SLEEPING BAG or blankets and sheets. 

PILLOW

FLASHLIGHT

A COAT AND GLOVES.  We have had snow on this weekend.

STURDY SHOES for the hike.  Extra socks.  An extra pair of shoes (sneakers) in case one gets wet.

WARM CLOTHES for a weekend.  No need to be stylish or dressy.  We are at camp, at about 8500 feet, so it will be cooler there than at home.

TOILETRIES:  toothbrush, toothpaste, towel, soap and shampoo.  Forget the makeup, you are beautiful.
