ALWAYS BE PREPARED WHAT TO BRING Tent Ground Tarps Hammer Cooler and Ice Sunscreen Hiking Boots Camera and Film Lantern Garbage bags Camp Chairs Poncho/Rain suit Jacket/Coat Clothing Sleeping Bags Extra Blankets Pillows Snacks/Drinks Bug Repellent Extra Shoes Extra Socks Flashlights First Aid Kit Toiletries Fishing Poles Bait Tackle Halloween Costume Paper Towels *McKee Fall Adventure is a snow, rain or shine event* WET WEATHER CAMPING with KiDS Rainy weather, even minor thunderstorms do not have to interfere with your family s camping plans. By following the simple list below, you can make your camping experience safer and more enjoyable for everyone, rain or shine. SHELTER Make sure your tent has proven itself rain-worthy. If the tent is new, hose it down in the back yard several days before your trip and crawl inside to check for leaks. Let the kids help, if they d like! Allow the tent to dry thoroughly and then apply seam sealer to the leaky areas you discovered. Use a ground cloth beneath your tent, put a tarp under your tent and another one inside your tent (does not apply to wall tents). Make sure the tarp under the tent is tucked under so water running off the tent does not run onto the tarp. If it is raining when you arrive, either wait the storm out or pitch the tent you can set up fastest under the tarp. Be prepared for wind as well. Make sure all tents and flies are staked down well. Bring a sponge to mop up water or other spills inside the tent. COMFORT Bring the appropriate clothing for everyone rain gear, socks, camp shoes (shoes you don t mind potentially ruining), and bring plenty of spares. Stow items you will need for the evening/next morning (spare clothing, extra flashlight, etc.) in the tent so no one has to make a mad dash to get them when the rain hits. Store everything in re-sealable plastic bags (Ziploc) or some other waterproof container. Keep gear in the middle of the tent where it cannot rub up against tent walls, and make sure not to touch the walls of the tent. This will prevent moisture from getting inside. This is generally true anyway as tents tend to get wet from dew in the mornings even when it is not raining. Bring rain gear such as ponchos, not umbrellas. Umbrellas can be a lightning hazard and get easily messed up by the wind.

BEDDiNG DoWN FoR CoLD NiGHTS 1. A mummy style bag is warmer than a rectangular, as there is less space for your body to heat. Also, most mummy bags have a hood to help protect your head. 2. If you only have a rectangular sleeping bag, bring an extra blanket to pack around your shoulders in the opening to keep air from getting in. 3. Do not sleep with your head under the covers. Doing so will increase the humidity in the bag that will reduce the insulation properties of the bag and increase dampness. 4. Remember to air out your sleeping bag and tent, when weather permits. Perspiration and breath condense in the tent at night and the water will reduce insulating properties of your bag. 5. Wear a stocking cap to bed in order to reduce heat loss. 6. Wear a loose fitting hooded pull over type sweatshirt to sleep in. 7. Make a loose fitting bag from an old blanket or carpet padding to put both feet in when in your sleeping bag. 8. A bag liner made from an old blanket, preferably wool, will greatly enhance the bags warmth. 9. Insulate yourself from the ground as much as possible to avoid cold spots at the shoulders and hips. 10. Use a sleeping pad of closed cell foam instead of an air mattress. 11. A good rule of thumb is that you want 2 to 3 times the insulation below you as you have over you. 12. Use a ground cloth to keep ground moisture from your bag. Your body will warm up frozen ground to a point where moisture can become important. 13. Space blankets, if used as a ground cloth, will not reflect the body heat. Instead it will conduct the cold from the ground to your body. 14. Cold air will be above and below you if you sleep on a cot. 15. Put a hand warmer (in a sock) at the foot of your sleeping bag before getting into it. 16. Fill a canteen with hot water (not boiling) and place at foot of bag to keep warm. Be careful with plastic canteens. 17. Exercise before bedding down to increase body heat. This will help to warm your bag quicker. Be careful not to start perspiring. 18. Remove the clothes you are wearing before bedding down if they are damp with perspiration (especially socks). Put on dry clothing or pajamas and socks before entering the sleeping bag. 19. Before you get out of bed bring the clothes you plan to wear inside your bag and warm them up some before dressing.

FIRST get your campsite assignment from the parking staff. Proceed to your campsite and drop your gear. Once you drop your gear, continue to your designated parking area THEN go back and set up your site. After you set up, go to the dining hall to check in. NOTE: Traffic is ONE WAY around the loop. Stay on the gravel road - DO NOT drive your vehicle into the campsite. DO NOT set up before you park your vehicle. Please keep traffic moving - there are a lot of people that need to drop gear too. DO NOT block the roadway. Campsites 1-7 Park Here Check-in at the dining hall (circled) to get your t-shirt, patch, and schedule. When you are done, park in your designated lot.
