Essential Packing List for Steubenville Youth Conference

As a general rule, pack light.  We will have to walk our luggage about a mile to get to our dorm rooms from the buses staging area.  Secondly, there is not much time spent in our dorm rooms, so there is no need to bring devices to entertain oneself. Thirdly, pack a water bottle we need you hydrated!! Every year someone gets dehydrated and takes a trip to first aid, lets try to avoid that.

​​

🎒 Personal Essentials

  • Bible & Journal / Notebook-

  • Pen / Highlighter

  • Reusable Water Bottle

    • It will be hot, and they have refillable water stations.

  • Phone & Charger

    • While the students will be refraining from using phones their schedule will be found on the “MyParish” App.

  • Wallet

    • While all meals except Sunday dinner are provided, there is some Commons area on Campus that have snacks for purchase.  There is also an extensive Catholic Marketplace that will be selling things throughout the weekend.

  • Medications (in original packaging, labeled, and pre-approved by your chaperone) please tell your chaperone what medications you need to take so they are aware!!!
