Be prepared for both hot and cold weather. Do not bring anything that is "too good" for water, campfire, fun and sun. Leave the new school clothes home.

Shoes worn in boats are to be tennis shoes or aqua sox. Hiking boots and/or sandals are acceptable only around the campfire.

Shorts or swim trunks are to be worn when launching or loading boats. If it is cold, jeans are worn over the shorts as facilities and time for changing are not frequently available.
