Outdoor School Clothing and Equipment List
The following list should help you to decide what to bring. Layering clothing will make it easy to adjust to temperature fluctuations from morning to afternoon. Rain gear is a must at Outdoor School because we continue with programs even in the rain.
We tell ODS students not to bring curling irons, makeup, electronic devises, candy, or knives, so you shouldn't bring these either. The cabins have electricity, so bring an alarm clock or your cell phone charger if you use your phone as a clock.
