Check out the gear lists below for the specific style of hike you will be completing.
We encourage you to BORROW as much gear as possible! Ask grade 12 students that attended Lake O this year and ask your family, friends and neighbours. Check out the information below for some local purchase/rental options, but once again, BORROW as much as you can! Also check out the classifieds for used gear for purchase - castanet and kijiji have hiking/camping sections you check out.
