  2. I would check the forecast the night before we leave to see if they are calling for rain. If there is a chance of rain you really should bring rain gear because we will be walking outside to get to each building!

  7. The Outdoor Ed experience is different for everyone and is only as good as you make it. Be sure to try every new experience. There is time for everything including learning and having fun with friends.

  11. Each part of the day is planned for you. During the activity part your group is assigned an area to prevent long lines. For example, your cabin will be given a time and day to go on the zip line, to rock climb, go the the snack bar etc.

  12. Again, with electronics, if you bring them Wilde Lake and NorthBay are not responsible for lost, damaged, or stolen items. Your ipod would be fine for the bus, but you will not really use it while we are on the trip and it should be locked in your cabin.

  13. The students last year did go in the water and needed bathing suits. Although it is not on the packing list you could probably still bring it since water shoes are listed. I am assuming the water will still be very cold. As my mom always used to tell me, "Better to bring it and not use it than to leave it at home and be left without." But that doesn't mean pack everything you own :)
