Good Boots Make A Difference

Thank you to all for returning your Acceptance Forms.  Employment Packets are being sent out this week.  This will include a packing list of everything that you will need for the summer. 

Please note, a pair of sturdy, good-fitting boots will make a difference in your comfort this summer. Take the time to find something that is all or mostly leather with a sturdy sole and hearty tread, steel toe is not required.  You can use one pair for both work days and weekend backpacking or bring one for each.  This is the one item that we stress you invest in.

All other large ticket items can be rented for a small fee from YCC for the summer.  Those items include an overnight backpack (~3000-4000 cubic inches) and a mummy bag (35 degree rating or lower).  

YCC will provide all crew gear including cooking kits, mess kits, tents/tarps, basic sleeping pads and cots.  YCC will also provide all Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) with the exception of work gloves.
