Packing List
Utah: Arches & Canyonlands Adventure>>
Packing List
Moab’s weather is as varied as its landscape. Spring flowers come early to the low country and linger into June in the high mountains. By summer red rock country is characterized by hot and dry days, mild evening temperatures, and lingering sunsets. An occasional summer thunderstorm can result in spectacular waterfalls that cascade from the tops of towering sandstone cliffs. Daytime temperatures in the mountain valleys and on the mesas can be as much as 10 to 20 degrees cooler.

For service with the elephants:
Caring for elephants can be a dirty business! You will be provided with clothing for working with the elephants. While there are boots provided, all sizes do vary. If preferred, bring comfortable footwear that is OK to get wet and dirty! In your time off we suggest more comfortable clothes.
There will be some down time throughout the volunteer days. We suggest bringing a book, card games, and old fashioned fun to keep you entertained.
*Laundry service is limited. We advise that you bring enough lightweight clothes to avoid having to do laundry.
*Voltage in Thailand is 220 volts. Most tablets, computers, and cameras can support this, however, most hair dryers cannot. Please bring a converter if you will be using high-voltage items. Most of the outlets will be the 2-prong, with occasional 3-prong outlets.
