Things to Bring

Clothes

Storage space is really limited, so pack creatively! You’ll need shorts, shirts, jeans, socks and all of the other stuff you normally put on every morning. Bring some Sunday dress clothes for church and special events. The summer starts out cool, so bring a light jacket. Some appropriate swimwear is key beach attire. Women, choose a one-piece bathing suit. Men, no Speedo’s!

Linens

Twin-sized sheets, a blanket, pillow, and towels.

Toiletries

Soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc. Sunscreen, too.

Musical Instruments

Wanna jam or share your talent? Bring your guitar, flute, drums, harp, harmonica, or any other instrument you might play. E-mail or call if you have a special interest in helping lead worship this summer.

Money

Have enough to get by until your first paycheck— remember it will be several weeks before you actually get paid. $250-300 should do it. I wouldn’t recommend carrying around large amounts of cash—there’s an ATM right around the corner from our house. You’re encouraged to open a summer bank account while you’re in Wildwood.

Sports Equipment

Bike (and heavy-duty lock), rollerblades, softball glove, basketball, etc.

Car

Cars are helpful, especially if your job is a couple of miles away. Most parking is on the street.

Computers and Electronic Equipment

Just consider the reality that we live in a busy beach town and bringing this stuff presents an opportunity to have it stolen; so don't bring anything that's not backed up or priceless (to you).  Please don’t bring a desktop computer because space is limited. No TVs.
