Packing List
It’s pretty mild in Kenya at this time of year, but it’s a good idea to bring along a jumper or light jacket for the evenings. The average daily maximum temperature is 25°C and the average daily minimum temperature is 16°C in October. There is a 40% chance of a perfect sunny day and a 60% chance of seeing a mixture of sunshine and clouds with an average 36mm of rainfall. We recommend checking the forecast before packing so you know what to expect and bringing clothes that you can layer and be comfortable whatever the weather.
Students will need to bring their school uniform to wear at the Opening and Closing Ceremony. If your school does not have a school uniform, then students should wear smart clothing. Adults should wear smart casual clothing for the Opening Ceremony.
If your students are taking part in the Student Cultural Performance, please bring any costumes required for the performance. During the rest of week, delegates can dress casually and appropriately for adventure activities. See packing list for a breakdown.
​
Please bring a SCHOOL FLAG for your school or a banner with your school logo on it if you don’t have a flag. These will be displayed on the day of the Opening Ceremony. As a guide, the ideal size would be around 140cm x 80cm (4.5 ft x 2.5 ft). If you have a choice, please bring the closest you have to this size, but don’t worry if you don’t have a choice and it’s a different size – please bring what you can.
We recommend that all delegates leave any valuable jewellery or unnecessary technology at home. We also discourage expensive or branded clothing, particularly on the service and adventure days.

Pin Swap – encourage your students to bring some pin badges
Please ask each of your delegates to bring with them to the Conference a handful of pin badges to swap with other delegates they meet on arrivals day to decorate their lanyards. This is also on the packing list, but we wanted to highlight it, as it may mean a craft project (handmade is good!) or your delegates might want to bring badges from your school or a tourist pin from wherever in the world you are. We suggest maybe 20-30 badges to swap.
