LOGO - GO TO CISPUS HOME What to Bring
Come prepared!  The weather during the Cispus Workshop week is often cool and wet. Sometimes we get one or two sunny days, sometimes it rains, and other times we get 1-2 inches of snow.  You will be attending sessions and participating in activities located in different buildings across the campus. While there are paved paths on campus, it can be wet and cold!  All dormitories and buildings are heated, and we have backup generators should we lose electricity for a short period of time.  

NOTE: Cell phones do not work on the Cispus Learning Center Campus because of the nearby mountains. There are limited land telephone lines on campus.
