What to Bring
Lists for specific programs are available to the right and our general list is below.
In addition to the usual personal items, the following checklist includes items that may be useful, helpful, or just fun to bring along if you have the space or inclination.
- Linens/Sleeping Bag - sheets and blankets or sleeping bag, pillowcase, pillow, towels and washcloth. These items are provided for Road Scholar groups only.
- Flashlight - A real help to find your bed and not someone else’s after lights are out. It gets mighty dark in these mountains after sunset and there are no street lights.

- Toiletries - (soap, shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc.)
None provided by Tremont (and not sold in our store). - Alarm Clock

- Day pack - We will be outside a good deal and may need to carry our lunch, raingear, water, etc.
- Raingear
- Field guides - We have a library and guides available but your favorite wildflower or bird guide may be helpful.
