Itinerary:

This will be the first of a few 'intro to cold weather camping' trips - only one night out to see how well you can survive the cold! The first trip, for chilly November, will be to MacGregor Point: On the shores of Lake Huron, near Port Elgin this year round facility has guided hikes and cross-country ski facilities, so bring 'em if there's snow.

You don't need special technical gear to camp in the cold, but there are a few tricks in keeping warm, and that might require you to rent or buy gear. We'll be having a meeting in the weeks before that is absolutely mandatory to attend for any winter camping event.

The TOC has booked 4 sites (63, 65, 67, 69), which you can view here. You will be assigned a site at the pre-meeting.

Required Items to Bring:
sleeping bag (-40, or 2 sleeping bags)
layered clothing
tent with footprint

nalgene bottles
stoves
