Preparing
for a Trip
Clothing
Since
Canoe Susquehanna guided trips usually operate rain or shine
in late spring, summer, and early fall, it's important to
dress for the weather. Shorts and t-shirts or swimsuits are
appropriate on warm summer days, but additional layers may
be necessary at other times of the year.
In
the cooler spring and fall, avoid wearing cotton garments
while paddling, as wet cotton is actually colder than bare
skin and does not dry as fast as synthetic fabrics. Rain,
wind, or cold temperatures may make rain gear, windbreakers,
and layers of wool or polyester fleece desirable.
Footwear
For
your protection, you must wear some type of shoe or sandal
for the entire duration of your trip with us. Your feet and
footwear will get wet while you get in and out of your canoe
or kayak, so wear footwear that you won't mind getting wet.
River sandals, aquasocks or old sneakers are good choices.
Additional
Items
You
may wish to consider bringing some of the following items:
- Any
guest under 18 years of age who will not be accompanied
by his/her parent/guardian must bring with him/her a Canoe
Susquehanna Waiver signed by his/her parent/guardian. (See
Waiver and Policies
for details.)
- A
beverage of your choice (please, no glass containers and
no alcohol)
-
A snack of your choice
-
A brimmed hat, sun block, sunglasses, and a glasses strap
-
Rain and/or wind gear (depending on weather)
- A
change of clothes for after you get off the water
- Prepared
Canoe Susquehanna Waivers for everyone in your party in
order to save time at the start of the trip. (See Waiver
and Policies for details.)
Arrival
Consult
Driving Directions
for directions to the meeting location of your trip. Please
note that different trips meet at different locations - make
certain that you arrive at the correct meeting location.
Plan
to arrive a few minutes before the scheduled meeting time,
the pre-trip meeting will start promptly. If you are coming
from out of our immediate area, be sure you leave adequate
time for travel and finding the meeting location.
