Here are some suggestion for items to bring to the station:

• Clothes for a variety of weather conditions.
• You will want at least one set of field work clothes (things to get muddy in).
• You will want one set of ‘nicer’ clothes for times you work with the public (attending a conference, meeting with an outside speaker, presenting your work at a local community group).
• Hiking boots and casual shoes
• Bathing suits
• Sheets for extra long mattresses (standard Juniata mattress)
• Towels
• Tacky material to hang posters on the walls.  You may not put tacks, pushpins or other holes in the walls
• Flashlights for night-time walks and getting around the station campus, which will not be brightly lit
• Personal toiletries and medications (you will have time to go shopping occasionally but it is a long drive to a store using your own (or a lodge-mate’s) car and gas)
• Sleeping bags for the occasional overnight field trip (especially for SOP semester)
• Tents for the occasional overnight field trip (or if you wish to sleep out at the station)(especially for SOP semester)
• A jump (or thumb) drive is recommended for you to backup and transfer your computer files 
• Kayaks and canoes and life jackets (optional).  Laughing Bush canoes will be available for rent and the station can provide life jackets.  If you bring your own watercraft, consider bringing a cable and lock to secure it.
• Standard classroom supplies (notebook, pens, calculator, dictionary)
