UPCOMING EVENTS  

Pali Camp is This Week!
December 6th - 8th

It's winter at Pali.

In addition to the Pali Packing List (link below), the single most important item that your child will need is a warm jacket, waterproof if possible.
If your warm jacket is not waterproof, you can get plastic ponchos at Big 5, or even use a giant trash bag and cut holes for arms and head (don't just wear a sweat jacket)

In addition, students will need layers:
A sweatshirt or sweatshirt jacket or fleece underneath the warm jacket.
Gloves (I tend to use thin ones)
A beanie
Waterproof shoes, you can get a spray for the shoes.
Extra socks in case they get wet.  

Make sure students wear warm clothes and shoes on the bus as we will go right to activities.  

Luggage - if you are bringing a duffel bag or something that liquid can get through, make sure to put your duffel bag in a large garbage bag to protect from moisture outside, then label with duct tape and Sharpie your child's name.  When suitcases get pulled out of the bus, they are temporarily put on the ground. 
Pack extra bags in their suitcase.
