THE “TRIP STUFF”:

If you have a canoe trip or overnight scheduled, you will also need the following.

• 1 Sleeping bag (can be used as the regular comforter)
• 1 Dry bag (large i.e. minimum 30L)
• “Wet Shoes” (an old pair of running shoes/hiking boots to wear during the day… in most cases they get wet and muddy!)

COMMON QUESTION ALERT: Is it wise to pack Trip Stuff even if my camper doesn’t have a scheduled canoe trip or if they are just a small colour camper?

ANSWER: Yes!  The purchase of these items now is simply a purchase made for the many years to come.  Campers who do not have a mandatory canoe trip during their session may want to participate in the canoe trip (yes, sometimes those campers who we least expect it from volunteer for the optional canoe trip!)  Colours do go on a one-night overnight where these items are essential.)
