Information Packing is a touchy subject with many teens and preteens. Your kids may surprise you with what they re willing to lug along on the trip. Our daughter wanted to bring three pairs of jeans and our son his complete collection of Pokemon cards. We compromised at one pair of jeans and ten cards.
Dark colors absorb the sunlight, so packing white or light-colored clothes is a smart idea.
You ll be walking an awful lot and a good pair of shoes will make a world of difference. If you are traveling in the summer, you ll be surprised at how much it rains. It gets really hot. Everyone should take bottles of water on hikes. We gave each child two disposable cameras to capture their own memories.
