What to Pack for a Week at Jersey Language Adventure

Clothing Essentials

Jersey weather can change quickly, so it’s best to pack layers.

We recommend bringing:

  • T-shirts 
  • Shorts 
  • Long trousers / leggings /joggers
  • Warm jumper or hoodie 
  • Light windproof jacket or light waterproof jacket
  • Underwear and socks
  • Pyjamas or something comfortable for camp. 
  • Swimwear 
  • A hat or cap for sunny days

Even in summer, evenings can be cooler, so a warm layer is always useful.

Footwear

Because students take part in lots of outdoor activities, good shoes are essential.

Please pack:

  • Comfortable trainers for daily use
  • Old trainers or surf booties  (for coasteering)

Tip: Water activities can ruin shoes, so bring a pair you don’t mind getting wet.
