[quote=Anonymous]I had twins who went last year, but to a different outdoor Ed site. Overall it was a positive experience and fun. Kids brought a hiking sneaker and a regular sneaker and only wore the hiking sneaker. Most kids just brought their regular shoes but it wasn’t muddy the week they went so it was fine. I think I sent pillow, sheets and not-bulky comforter rather than sleeping bag and my kids said that was more comfortable than what others brought. Showers were not enforced. One kid chose to, other did not. Send shower shoes and towel and travel size toiletries. Also laundry bag for dirty clothes. Kids came back super dead tired because adult chaperones and teen volunteers allowed other kids to be on YouTube loudly on their phones all night long both nights even though there was a no cellphone policy. They said the portions of food were inadequate (1 slice of pizza per kid, ex.), but they survived. The daytime activities were fun and worthwhile. [/quote]
