During the summer, you (and your group) should wear a swim suit, shorts, a t-shirt and old tennis shoes, river sandals, or water shoes (no flip-flops).  Please feel free to bring a towel and a change of dry clothes and dry shoes for after the trip - we have hot showers. A baseball hat is also useful during the summer for keeping the rain/sun out of your eyes.

In the fall & spring, air and water temperatures are often cool. Rain is not unusual. We have the following suggestions for clothing and equipment:

1)  Wool sweaters, pants, socks, etc. - Anything wool will help because it retains some of its insulating value even when wet. Fleece, polypropylene, and other synthetic materials are also appropriate.

2)  A wool stocking cap - A large portion of heat loss is through the head and neck, and a cap can make a great difference.

3)  Paddling Pants / Jackets - These help keep the spray off your legs. Provided free of charge at our outpost.

4)  Wet suits - Farmer John style is the best suited to rafting, but any wet suit will do. Provided at our outpost.
