I can't remember when this was posted, must be at least 4 years ago..but I have kept this list.
We hold retreats locally a few times a year, and here's the packing list we post:
Clothes for the weekend (yes, I heard these have been forgotten by someone in the past!)
toiletries - toothbrush/toothpaste, shampoo/conditioner, deodorant, makeup, brush, hair dryer
extra pillow if you need one
slippers
small blanket (the temperature can vary in the crop room, and no one is ever the same, so I usually bring a throw blanket with me)
iPod/mp3 player- headphones, charger
snacks (if you think you'll be craving something at 3am!)
soda (water is provided in cropping room, so if you have a favorite beverage for the rest of the weekend, you will want to bring it with you!)
CAMERA!!
Cup
Cup Holder
Power Strip*
Extension Cord*
Desk Lamp w/extra light-bulb*
Seat Cushion
Store Coupons
Metal rack for tabletop*
*you will want to be sure to bring these three items with you!! The lighting isn't the greatest after the sun goes down, so if you don't have a little lamp, Walmart usually has some decent one pretty cheap. You can also get the wire racks pretty cheap at Walmart; I think they are in the kitchen storage area.
