Packing and Equipment

NO ELECTRONICS
(especially no cell phones, iPods, Game Boys, or similar devices)
We do not allow any electronics on our trip to assure group cohesiveness. In the past we have had teens disengaged from trips due to cell phones and electronic music devices. Trip leaders will have cell phones in case of an emergency and they will have your teen contact you at least once a week.

EQUIPMENT MY TEEN WILL NEED TO BRING
Each Teen Treks tripper will need to bring a bicycle with 10-24 speeds and with 1 to 1½ inch tires; a rear rack; saddlebags; a sleeping bag; a foam mattress; and a helmet. A complete packing list is on the last page of this Ready to Go booklet.
