What to Wear: Anything but cotton and jeans! Cotton is the type of fabric that will not keep you warm once it gets wet. Alternatives are any synthetic fabrics or wool. Polypropylene and fleece is great. Bring rain gear top and bottom. Even if it is a sunny day, it is nice to have a shell to protect you from the wind, and a hat to keep your head warm. Footwear: We will provide rubber boots for you. Wear synthetic or wool socks also, and bring extra pairs to change into. There is room in the kayaks for a small day bag, in addition, we will provide you with a small dry bag to put your camera and other possessions in an accessible place.

Sincerely,

Rick, Monica, and the Staff at Adventure 60 North
