what you need to bring

Day Trips:
MANDATORY:
- shoes that can get wet, are suitable for a steep hill and will stay securely on your feet. (we recommend running shoes or sports sandals)
- swimsuit or lightweight underclothes for under your wetsuit.
OPTIONAL:
- towel
- dry shoes for after the trip
- sun glasses, tie-on for glasses
- extra medication if you are currently taking any.
- camera (we have waterproof disposable ones for sale)
- SMILES!

Overnight Wilderness Trips: limited space - please follow the gear list.
The best thing is to be able to dress in layers. Please show up for the trip wearing either shorts & t-shirt (warm day) or a warm pullover and pairs of warm light weight pants. Call us if you have questions about what is appropriate to bring. For 3 day trips, bring an additional set of underclothes & socks. If you are prone to being cold, bring an additional warm layer.
- 2 pairs long underwear or other warm lightweight layer (polypro if you have it).
- 2 changes of underclothes, 3 pairs of socks.
- t-shirt or tank top & shorts.
- warm pullover and 2 pairs of warm light weight pants (not denim, fleece if you have it).
- swimsuit, face cloth & mid-size towel

fleece jackets are strongly recommended - NOT cotton!
- a wind/water resistant lightweight jacket (waterproof breathable if you have it).
- if you don't have a waterproof breathable, a waterproof jacket that is NOT a poncho
- warm pants (NOT jeans, fleece preferred).
- 1-2 pairs outdoor hiking pants (nylon best, cotton not recommended).
- wind/water resistant pants (waterproof breathable if you have it).
- rain pants (water proof) if you don't have waterproof breathable ones.
- sun hat (ball cap fine)
- warm hat (they are called toques in Canada!)
- small woolen or fleece mitts for cold weather
- work gloves for trail riding and caving
- shoes that can get wet such as tennis shoes or sport sandals.
