What to Bring

Clothing
In terms of day-to-day apparel, comfortable and casual clothing and footwear is appropriate throughout your time here. You will have no need for formal attire or even business casual attire during the days of the retreat, although you may certainly dress as formally as you like! Weather on the coast is always variable, no matter the season of the year. We recommend bringing layers for both warm days and cool evenings.

Other items that might be helpful or convenient:
  • Personal toiletries (including sunscreen and bug repellant)
  • Medications
  • Hair dryer, razor, etc.
  • Chargers for phone and other equipment
  • A Bible: although a Bible is provided in each retreatant’s room, you may want to bring your personal Bible
  • Journal
  • Pens/pencils, art supplies
  • Water bottle or mug
  • Flashlight
  • Hat or sun visor
  • Raincoat
  • Walking shoes
  • Swimsuit and footwear for the beach, if you intend to visit the nearby beaches during our summer retreats
  • Beach chair and beach towels

Art supplies, jigsaw puzzles, and yoga mats are available for general recreational use. Gonzaga EPRH maintains a small general-use library that contains primarily spiritual, scriptural, and theological texts, several magazines/journals, and the daily newspaper.

We are a short drive, and a healthy walk, from a local market and pharmacy, should the need arise to make purchases during the retreat.
