Items Needed for Overnight Trips |
| ALL CAMPERS NEED EVERYTHING ON THIS LIST! Current 9th graders who are going on the Canadian (1st session & 8 weekers) have a specific packing list which is on Campintouch.com |
| Mid-weight Polartec Jacket |
| Fleece does not absorb moisture, dries quickly, and is light-weight; making it ideal for trips |
| Waterproof jacket with hood |
| NO PONCHOS! Ponchos are clumsy and don't protect well in wind. |
| Light-weight nylon rain pants |
| Pants should go on and off easily over boots, be of a breathable material, and dry quickly. |
| Wool or Fleece Hat |
| For wind and rain. Ski hats work well. |
1-2 | Mid-Weight boot socks |
| Wool or synthetic but no cotton. Cotton does not dry quickly and contributes to blisters. Two pair for current 8th graders. |
1 | Sleeping Bag |
| NO BAGS LINED WITH COTTON OR FLANNEL. If buying a new bag, it should be made of synthetic fiber, which compresses easily and dries faster than down. The bag should stuff into a 12 X 18 inch nylon stuff sack |
| Hiking Boots |
| With ankle support. For current 8th graders. |
