Can I charge my camera or cell phone during the trip?
We may have some charging for small electronics that are compatible with USB-A or cigarette lighter sockets. However, we highly recommend guests bring their own portable charging device and applicable cords.
Hatch’s charging capacity relies on battery (motor-trips) and solar power (oar-trips), and therefore is not guaranteed and is particularly challenging on oar-powered trips. Keep in mind that charging stations are also shared among all guests on a trip. In our experience the battery charger tends to be a better choice, rather than relying on a solar panel charger since efficient sunlight is limited during the day or at camp.
Additionally, remember that there is no cell service with any provider within the canyon and we recommend phones be put on airplane mode during the duration of the trip to ensure the battery life lasts longer.
