One Week to Training Camp!
Can you believe that? Here are a few details that you will want to know.
Sleeping:
You will be sleeping in either Cabins or Tents. The Cabins have mattresses but the tents do not. So if you are assigned to a tent you will want to bring a pad to sleep on. If you do not want to take the pad to country, you can leave it at AIM and we will let the next group use it.
Here is how we divided the sleeping arrangements:
For the Girls the breakdown looks like this:
Tents:
· Nicaragua
· Swaziland-One Month
· Kenya-One Month
· Central American Expedition Team
Cabins:
· Amazon Jungle
· India
· Kenya-Two Month
· Swaziland-Two Month
· Philippines
For the Boys you will all be in a cabin together.
Everyone will want to bring a sleeping bag and a great idea is to bring a sheet as it does get hot in GA and for some, it gets hot in country. Most of you will want to sleep on top of your sleeping bag.
Food:
You will not be able to take food in the cabins or the tents. The ants are horrible here in GA and they will get
in your sleeping bags and they will bite. So no Food! There will be a place to put food inside so make sure it is marked well with your name.

Cell Phones:
A friendly reminder that you are not to have cell phones while at Training Camp. You will be able to call your parents upon arrival if you would like to.
Laundry:
This is the largest Training Camp ever! Count on not having your laundry done while at Training Camp.
Extra Luggage:
You can only have one suitcase in the cabin or tent. All your other items will be put inside in one room. Count on not getting to that luggage as your may be on the bottom of the stack.
Items you will DEFINETLY want:
The two most common items that individuals do not bring are a flashlight and a toothbrush holder. It is dark on our property with very limited outside lighting.
Your toothbrush and toothpaste will not be kept in your cabin; you will want to put your toothbrush in something to protect it from germs.
Rain:
It is forecasted to rain most the week. Plan accordingly! The dirt in GA is red clay and will ruin your shoes and clothes to the point that you will want to throw most of the them away at the end of Training Camp.
