During
trail time (hikes, trips to the beach) and around camp, students and
cabin leaders are required to wear long pants (no pjs), closed toed
shoes, and weather appropriate outerwear. We want to make sure everyone
is warm and properly attired for their adventures. Students and cabin
leaders will be asked to change if necessary.
The
potential for muddy trail conditions is high, especially in winter.
Students and cabin leaders should pack clothing and shoes that can get
muddy and dirty.
Bedding
All cabins are heated. Each student will have his/her own bunk and mattress.
- Sleeping bag or warm blankets and sheets
- Pillow
- Pajamas
Clothing

site is located in the Santa Cruz Mountains, about ten miles inland of

extra changes of clothes, especially socks, shoes and long pants if the
forecast calls for rain. We strongly suggest rain pants if they are
