UBC Vancouver Summer Program

☀️🧳 Wondering what to pack for VSP? We’ve got you covered!

Before heading to Vancouver this summer, here are a few important packing tips to keep in mind:

✈️ Pack light!
We recommend bringing one check-in suitcase and one carry-on bag to make travelling, moving in, and commuting around the city much easier.

🧴 Be mindful of liquid limits
Carry-on liquids must be under 100mL, so instead of packing large shampoo, conditioner, or body wash bottles, we recommend buying essentials once you arrive in Vancouver and sharing with friends when possible.

💳 Prepare your payment methods
Make sure to bring a convenient way to pay while in Canada, such as:
• An international credit/debit card
• Some Canadian cash for smaller purchases or emergencies

🌦️ Plan for Vancouver weather
Summer in Vancouver is usually warm and sunny, but occasional rain showers and cooler evenings are common. Packing a light jacket or rain layer can go a long way, especially if you’ll be exploring the city or spending time outdoors!
