What to Bring to Crow II
Required Items
It is essential that campers come with all items on the "Required Items" list. Especially note the need for proper footwear, warm outerwear and an adequate sleeping bag. We are concerned that many campers come unprepared for our outdoor oriented programs. Mountain weather is very unpredictable. Snow and rain are possibilities campers must be prepared for!
