EQUIPMENT

This project will include several nights of fairly primitive camping so, in addition to basic outdoor clothing and equipment, every participant needs to have the minimum equipment necessary for that activity. Every participant should review the equipment lists provided on this page to make sure that all needs are met. Except for stoves, participants are encouraged to bring their own camping equipment. For those who don't have equipment or don't want to travel with their equipment, the UA Outdoor Center will offer some rentals at reasonable rates (below).
