[quote=Anonymous]My advice to parents would be that you do not need to attend the Outdoor ED parent meeting at all. All the literature comes home. Send an email to the school and ask them to share the outdoor ed material electronically by a connected email or on the school website.

However, if your child has a health concern or something else that needs to be addressed specifically (special ed, very shy, being bullied in school, need medication, has a disability, severe allergy etc), then schedule an appointment with the school and address this with them separately.  You should also document your meeting and email it to the Principal, teacher, team lead and counselor, just so that it is in writing and on record.

The usual common sense approach to packing, security, behaviour, cell phone use apply and these are also communicated to parents. My advice would be that to pack for the weather, include sunscreen, insect repellent, small hand sanitizer, sunglasses and hats too.

Frankly, the  biggest issue I saw was that the kids did not pack enough layers and warm clothes.  An extra pair of shoes and a pair of flip-flops are helpful, and so are some empty trash bags to store wet or dirty stuff.
