Food + Camp Stuff:
Regarding food we usually do half of the shopping before the trip to pick up staples of every trip Oatmeal, Pasta, Sandwich Materials, Etc. Then with the kids after we set up camp we talk to them to see what they like to eat that we can prepare while camping. We will try our very best to work with all climbers to ensure any dietary restrictions are managed. All participants of the trip will help with the necessary camp chores on a rotating schedule. We try our best to schedule every climbing day so that the kids will all have ample down time whilst still being able to complete all the necessary tasks to have a clean and productive camp.

Once we have kids registered we will reach out to those only doing one session so we can coordinate the flights in and out
