COMING WITH KIDS?
We are excited to meet all the little tigers coming to campus! Here
are a few key details if you’re traveling with kids. (And please
see the full schedule at the end of this email for details on our very
fun kids’ activities!)
The university does NOT have high chairs, so if your child eats best
when strapped into a chair, please bring your own TRAVEL BOOSTER
SEAT/CHAIR or a STROLLER.
We will have an INFANT/TODDLER LOUNGE with changing pads, a mat for
crawlers, and space for nursing mothers. But please bring your own
TRAVEL CHANGING PAD (the kind that comes in a diaper bag), WIPES,
DIAPERS, etc. We’ll have some extra supplies on hand but not
enough to provide for everyone all weekend.
Other items to bring: STROLLER, good WALKING SHOES, SUNSCREEN,
BOTTLES/SIPPY CUPS, SNACKS, SWIMSUIT and small TOWEL (for water
slide), DRY CLOTHES, and LAYERS.
Luckily, our Reunions site is very close to the U-Store, the Wa-Wa,
and downtown, so don’t panic if you find you’ve forgotten
something.
COSTUMES:
Your costume includes a lightweight FLANNEL SHIRT, a T-SHIRT,
SUNGLASSES, and a BANDANA. We recommend bringing your own RIPPED
JEANS, CUTOFFs, or CARGO SHORTS to wear with your costume.
There will be PRIZES for best grunge interpretations – these will be
awarded at our class dinner on Saturday.
