Things-To-Bring

"Hey, can I bring an outboard motor? Just kidding!"

You'll be outdoors for almost the entire day during a River Watch Field Trip. There are no stores along the way and no place to warm-up indoors. You'll have to come prepared to look after all your own food, water and clothing needs.

We supply rubber boots and personal floatation devices to everyone before the trip starts. If it is cool, windy or lightly raining, we can also supply everyone with rain jackets.

You'll need to consider bringing the following items:

• day pack



• extra socks - they'll get wet!



• cool or rainy clothing
• sweater
• wind jacket
• rain pants or warm-up pants if you have them
• gloves
• hat or toque



• cold weather clothing
• long underwear
• sweater
• ski jacket
• toque
• gloves (2 pairs)
• wool socks



• hot weather accessories
• sunscreen
• hat
• sun glasses
• shorts



• food
• bag lunch
• thermos of hot soup on cold days
• drinks
• cans, juice boxes or bottles
• bottled water



• snacks
• fruit
• bars
