PACKING LIST

For the Raft

A gallon Ziploc bag inside of a small backpack, about half the size of a school backpack, OR a small drybag (5 L max).
- This is the bag of stuff you’ll have access to while we’re on the river. Your large bag will be packed an inaccessible during the day. Use this day bag for:
  - Water bottle
  - Sunscreen (lotion, not spray)
  - Lip balm
  - Hand wipes
  - Snacks
  - Advil
  - 3 bandaids
  - Sandwich size Ziploc for personal trash
A 3-inch carabiner to clip your day bag to the side of the raft
Thin towel for cover (it will get completely wet. Use it to cover and prevent sunburn)

A lifejacket will be provided
Swimsuit or tankini swim top
Swim shorts, board shorts, or any shorts you can swim in that dry quickly OR Swim leggings are great for rafting – protect your legs without sunscreen
Sunshirt, ideally with a hood
Hat to protect head from sun
Sunglasses with chums or other strap attached
Good water sandals or water shoes – ideally these are the only shoes you will need on the whole trip. They should have good straps that keep your foot secure and rugged soles that prevent slipping, all constructed from waterproof material. (Chaco or Teva are great for this – they don’t need to be those brands, but the basic design works well)

A tent and ground cover (or tarp) for keeping sand out
- Plan to share a tent with a few people. We can bring bigger (non-backpacking) tents, so big tents are a good idea here!
- Another option is to just bring a tarp and plan to sleep under the stars each night
- No hammocks! (Not enough trees at some of the campsites)
Lightweight sleeping bag or blanket
- The temperature stays in the upper 60’s or lower 70’s at night, so don’t bring a very heavy sleeping bag
Sleeping pad
Small pillow, or bring a pillow case and fill it with clothes to use as a pillow
Underwear for the trip
2 shirts
- Shirts are worn by everyone from dinner-breakfast
- You’re getting wet all day, so you should have one shirt to wear during the day (plus a sunshirt), then one to wear at camp while that one dries. Since your clothes are getting rinsed in the river, it’s common to only bring two shirts total
Shorts/capris/quicky dry pants/joggers – choose 1 for the whole trip
Fleece hoodie or sweatshirt
Something to sleep in, or sleep in your evening clothes
Thin socks to sleep in if you want to keep your sleeping bag a little less sandy
A flashlight or headlamp
A small ziploc bag with a few regular bandaids, headache or stomach medicine if you use those, anything else you use regularly at home
A quart or gallon Ziploc bag for your personal trash
Lightweight camp chair (optional)
Plastic plate, plastic bowl, utensils, plastic cup if you want powdered drinks
Bug repellent
Aloe vera for sunburn

If you would like to keep a clean set of clothes in a day pack that stays in the car for the ride home you can pack those separately.
