Mountain Camp Equipment List
Please make sure campers are prepared by reading the list of what to bring – and what not to bring – to FIT Camps. If you don’t have some of the items listed below, we will have a limited supply available for campers to borrow – please let us know ASAP.
Additional information will be emailed to participants in sessions with overnight components as well as mountain bike sessions, Adventure Week, and other special activities.
***Keep in mind everything, including lunch, needs to fit in your camper’s backpack.
