Summer on the Bay typically consists of a mixture of weather conditions. Morning and evening fog are common with the sun burning through most days and wind commonly picking up in the afternoons. Expect lows around 50 with highs in the 70s or better. Layering clothes works best so that you can easily keep pace with the changing temperature and weather. Bring both a paddling outfit (synthetic long underwear with nylon shorts) and a beach outfit (pile pants or sweat pants, fleece jacket, sweater or sweat shirt and a wind breaker) with you each day. Your child may be cold if you do not send the appropriate clothing.

Please plan well when packing your gear, as storage space is limited in the kayaks. Pack your gear in two medium size nylon duffel bags (12" x 18" approx.) lined with plastic trash compactor bags. Your sleeping bag needs to be in a nylon stuff sack also lined with a trash bag.

Food: Sea Trek will be providing all food during the week including lunch the first day. Please indicate on your child's registration forms if they have any food allergies and whether they are a vegetarian or don't eat beef.
