Anderson High Adventures Packing List

The following is a strongly suggested list of clothing and equipment needed for Anderson High Adventures. Feel free to change and adapt the list according to your individual requirements and interests, some of the below equipment can be supplied by the camp in which case we ask that you please call and inquire. Keep in mind Rocky Mountain weather is often cool, especially in the evenings and afternoon rain showers are a possibility so adequate protection is a must. Quality clothing will be durable and functional, which in turn lightens the need for extra clothing.
