Equipment and Clothing to Bring to our Camps

Hardware:

• Large Backpack: A spacious and comfortable hiking backpack to carry your belongings. It should have enough room to hold personal belongings as well as extra room for food and the like. Participants should have about 20% of the remaining empty space in their backpack after packing everything in it.
• Small backpack: Small backpack to take on our day hikes or bike rides, with just enough room for a bottle of water, picnic and jacket.
• • Sleeping bag (min. 10 degrees comfort temperature). (If you prefer, the club offers you to rent a sleeping bag for the duration of the camp.)
  • Not mandatory: Card games, free or similar.
  • Sleeping pad: An inflatable sleeping pad or non-inflatable camping mat. (If you prefer, the club offers to rent a sleeping pad for the duration of the camp.)
  • Hiking or sports shoes: Make sure they are well broken in before camp to avoid blisters.
  • Water bottle.
  • Headlamp.
  • Personal hygiene: To avoid overcrowding, please bring only the necessities (a toothbrush and toothpaste, a swimsuit, and a cloth), items such as soap and shampoo will be provided by the camp.
  • Sun protection: Broad-spectrum sunscreen (small size), sunglasses and a cap.

Clothing:

• • 3-4 T-shirts (at least 2 must be synthetic/non-cotton)
  • 2 pairs of shorts (synthetic – not heavy)
  • 4-5 pairs of underwear
  • 3 pairs of socks (synthetic or wool-blend socks)

Please refer to our “Electronic Devices and Personal Property Policy” document for more information. (Participants will not be able to use the phone during the camp).
  • Not recommended: Bulky cotton items like sweatpants or denim garments like jeans. They are heavy and take a long time to dry, synthetic clothing is much more practical.

Don’t take much more than what’s suggested on the list. Thanks to years of experience, we are confident that we recommend enough equipment and clothing while minimizing unnecessary items. Students will have the opportunity to do laundry once during the camp.
