The main conversation here is about skin exposure. If you prefer a swimsuit, hat, and sunglasses, please bring enough waterproof sunscreen for long hours in the river.

If you prefer to expose your skin less, there are long sleeve swimsuits, but any light synthetic will do. Sunscreen is still recommended.

In any case, life vests will be provided and are mandatory.

We are not planning to sink any canoe, but you may want a bath in the river after a long day.

The average weight a canoe can hold is around 700 pounds but, in a river where we will need to maneuver, the less weight, the better.

Canoes will have two participants each, plus their equipment, which includes:

• Waterproof bag/sack/backpack to hold everything you need to protect from getting wet. Ideally, you should have smaller items that need extra protection in their own waterproof bag as well.
• Tent
• Sleeping bag
• Sleeping pad (inflatable if available)
• Cookware and/or cookstove if you need it for your meals
• Your favorite meals for two breakfasts, two lunches, and two suppers.
• Water filter.
• Camel bag or water bottles. (Electrolyte powder is optional but welcome)
• At least one change of clothes
• Sunscreen
• Hat
• Sunglasses
• Phone and power bank WITH YOUR BIBLE 🙂
  (NOTE: a small waterproof storage for these items is highly recommended)
• A good mosquito repellent
• Toilet paper
• Biodegradable soap
• A towel if you have the space.
• Sandals, hiking shoes, or canoeing shoes. You decide.
• A first Aid kit if you come with a group.
• Garbage bags.
• Little shovel.

At the base camp

• Sunday (arrival) and Wednesday (departure) will be a regular camping day and you will be able to use everything you brought for canoeing. Just add the meals you will need with the time you plan to stay during those days.
• Also, remember that you will be able to leave some stuffs at the basecamp during the canoeing.
• There is access to flush restrooms, showers, and water located nearby.

Lodging is at the Tyler Bend Campground. Please bring your own tent and camping supplies.
