No white articles of clothing should be taken to Maine as they are too easily soiled, except T-shirts, underwear, and socks.

No TVs or Video Games allowed on the Island.  No cell phones.

Firearms, slingshots, and fireworks are not permitted.

Remember, each boy is responsible for his own gear, so you may not want to send up any clothes that you expect him to return with in good condition, if at all! Berwick tries to emphasize the importance of honesty and respect for other’s property but cannot be held responsible for loss or damage to a boy’s possessions.

Although it is summertime, the Island can be quite cold and damp. The temperature can range from the 40’s to the 90’s. While this is the extreme range, it is important that your son have enough warm clothes and rain gear.

All items should be labeled with the boy’s name.
