In addition to tents, food, cooking gear and tubing equipment, we can provide a sleeping bag, sleeping pad and hammock if needed. We will contact students a few weeks prior to the trip to find out who needs this equipment. If you have any questions regarding equipment needs, please contact Recreational Life at [email protected].
Note: The above are recommendations. In the world of camping, reusing the same shirt for a few days/weeks is always an option :) Items made out of synthetics (Under Armour®, Capilene®, nylon, etc.) will dry faster, so these are great for water adventures.
* Double-check to be sure you pack these items, because they can greatly impact your comfort, health or ability to participate.
