To help plan ahead for the Overnight, first think of the season for weather appropriate clothing. Cobia is heated and air conditioned, however, it is not perfect (temperatures inside the submarine might vary from 40°F in mid-winter to 80°F in mid-summer, but usually around 50°-70°F). Also, some activities as well as the tour will have outdoor components, as well as late night "head calls" (bathrooms are in the Museum while Cobia is docked next to the Museum).

Aside from season appropriate clothing, and a change of clothes if needed, participants will need:

• Sleeping bag and pillow
• Flashlight (Cobia will always have some light, but at night they are dimmed)
• Personal toiletries
• For your safety, full shoes are strongly recommended, Cobia is 1526 tons of steel, your toes are not.
• Snacks if desired (the WMM does not provide any food, and food consumption is restricted to the Museum and Crew's Mess and only at certain times, the Overnight Guides will let you know when and where)
• Waiver signed by youth and parent, all ATTENDING parents must also sign a Waiver form
• Medical Forms are also needed if a participant has a situation the the staff will need to plan for.
