PACKING OPTIONS:
DAYPACK: Every Guide must have a Daypack (school
backpack usually works). In the
Daypack please put the items in brown.

CAMPING BACKPACK: GUIDE will need a Backpack
big enough to hold all gear,
either inside or strapped to the outside.
Toiletry Kit and extra shoes can be tied to the Backpack if they do
not fit inside. This is the
Lightweight Camping Option, which is the best. Guide will walk with Camp Backpack on her
back and carrying her Daypack.

will make a Bedroll with her Tarp, Sleeping Bag, Blanket, Pillow, pj’s. Other items will be in a small
