I started packing with the list they gave me, I'm barely halfway done and it already fills up a suitcase. I'm only going for three weeks, and by this rate I am going to have a ton of stuff. How much do people usually bring, I don't want to be the one person who over packs. Also, what do people usually pack in?
And when people arrive, do they already wear their uniforms or put them on when they get there?
Much help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
 
I researched Interlochen for myself a while ago, and I thought about the same thing. I figured that they had a washing facility there so kids could do their own laundry, so if you can do that, that'll cut down on clothes, plus everything was uniform, so no extra outfits really needed. One or two pairs of shoes only. :) Then, I believe you needed to bring sheets/pillows/etc. to sleep, and of course bring soap (2 bars or 1 big bottle), 1 shampoo bottle, 1 conditioner bottle (if neccessary), and just a few other products that you truly NEED. They always say to bring your favorite snacks, so be sure to have those. And then, yes, I'd say you should probably just wear the uniform to the camp to avoid needing space for another unneeded, non-uniform outfit. Then, of course, be sure you bring everything for the section of art your studying, such as music if vocal or instrumental, or your instrument (if not too big), or whatever you need. That's all I can come up with, but yes, you really DON'T want to over-pack. Because if you do, luck will have it that you'll have to trudge through a forrest and up 1,000 stairs and over a mountain! (Just kidding, but still... :D)
