What to Bring

  1. If you are rooming on campus, you need to bring a check for $30 to check-in made out to Endicott College for your room key and meal card deposit. For all other meal plan participants, a $5 check is required for your meal card deposit. Cash can be left as a deposit although checks are preferable, especially if you are leaving outside of check-out time. Your check will be returned to you at check-out when you turn in your key and meal card.
  2. Please bring ID with you at check-in. If taking the International Tuition Discount please bring your driver’s license showing your home address.
  3. All dance spaces have wooden floors and a change of shoes is required. One of the class spaces, the Aerobics Room, requires either suede (or chrome leather) soled shoes or clean sneakers to be worn (no leather or hard soled shoes). If possible, it would be best to have more than one pair of dance shoes. You will want your shoes to be comfortable and no sharp heels please.
  4. Bring shoes to chrome!! If you want to turn a wonderfully comfortable pair of shoes into full time dance shoes in which you can effortlessly slide across the floor, Ed Wilson will be offering a shoe chroming party during the weekend of camp. Bring the shoes, fifteen bucks, and a willingness to do it yourself (with plenty of guidance available). Ed will supply the materials. Best choices are shoes that offer lots of arch support and have rubbery soles (the cement doesn’t stick to synthetic soles as well). Kits will also be available in the Camp Shop for the same price. If you bring new shoes make certain to wear them first—enough to scuff up the bottom so that none of the rubber has a glazed look.
  5. Bring a Yoga mat if you would like to have one for the Yoga and Stretching classes.
  6. Beantown’s Got Talent will be back for a third season! Karen Turman, Beantown’s Got Talent’s “talent” coordinator sends this message:

    As many of you may already know, the Beantown’s Got Talent variety show on Tuesday night is one of the not-to-be-missed highlights of the week—full of suspense, drama, but mostly comedy. So if you have a special talent to share, start planning your act! This will be a grueling competition to see who is the most “talented” Beantown camper, judged by our very own panel of expert critics: Peter Strom, Sylvia Sykes and Jen Coulombe. So don’t forget to pack that rainbow wig, juggling balls, batons, kazoo or whatever you’ll need to prove your ultimate stardom at Beantown 2010!

  7. Linens are provided with all of the housing options. Linen packages are included which consist of 1 pillow, blanket and set of sheets, 2 towels and 1 face cloth. There is no housekeeping service or linen exchange. You may want to bring extra towels, preferably bright colored ones so as not to get them mixed up with the linen provided, and if you have a favorite pillow, bring that too!
  8. All dorms have washers and dryers as well as some vending machines. (You may want to bring laundry detergent.) The machines can only be accessed using a prepaid Endicott Gull Card and are not coin operated. The meal card you receive at check-in is also a Gull Card and to place money on it, there are two automatic money boxes located on campus in the lower level of Callahan next to the Beantown Café entrance and in the Halle Library. Money can also be added during business hours in the Bursar’s Office in College Hall where credit cards are also accepted. Money added to the card cannot be refunded so only place on it what you will need.
  9. The entire campus now has wireless internet access. The Cyber Café has computers available for public use. It is located on the lower level of the Halle Library and is open 24 hours (use the rear entrance in the evenings).
  10. Bring a musical instrument if you would like to participate in possible music jams.
  11. There are 3 private beaches on campus and you may want bring your bathing suit and beach accessories!
  12. Bring sports equipment that you might like for extra activities on campus.
  13. You may want some cash to make purchases in the Camp Shop (including the camp T-shirt!), for snacks at the Beantown Café, incidentals and private lessons. All sales in the Camp Shop will be cash only except for the Beantown Camp 2010 DVD pre-orders.
  14. Bring cool, comfortable clothes for classes. All dance spaces are air-conditioned.
  15. You may also want to bring:
    • plenty of T-shirts and socks
    • flip flops for showers
    • alarm clock
    • window fan for non-AC dorms
