Trip Prep Schedule

Catalina Backpacking Trip Prep Schedule


Monday, May 11 and Tuesday, May 12: We have backpacks students can borrow for the trip. We will fit and assign them Monday and Tuesday this week. If you have a backpacking pack already please plan to bring it to school this week so Erin can make sure it is appropriate for the trip.


Tuesday, May 12 - During flex time Erin will discuss meals and menu planning for backpacking. Students will plan their menu for 3 days worth of meals. SBMS will send families a $45 food stipend check.


SBMS will provide stoves and fuel and has cooking pots if needed as well.


Friday May 21: 12:20-2:30 Bring fully packed (excluding food and water) to school to be checked and weighed. We will also do a short hike to make sure the packs fit right and feel good. This is very important! Be sure to bring the shoes you are wearing to hike on the trip. We will provide lunch! Pick up at 2:30


Wednesday May 26: Bring fully packed backpacks INCLUDING FOOD & WATER to school to be checked, weighed and for a short walk. Again, VERY IMPORTANT!
