Wetsuit Rental: There are no wetsuit rentals at camp. Most kids will probably stay out of the water (its cold). If you are interested in a rental, your best bet is to rent online. Triathlon wetsuits work well for swimming and can be rented from a number sites. www.rentals.xterrawetsuits.com seems easy to use.

We are Camping in Group areas C and D

Campsite notes: It is up to the ranger as to whether or not we will be able to set up camp before the 2:00 PM checkup time, but I think that they will let us check In to campsite D right away because it is unoccupied on Friday night. Camp C is occupied Friday night and we will have to wait until those campers check out before we set up. If C is occupied we will leave the campsite C gear in camp D and set up at 2:00. If they have checked out early, we will set up camp C when we arrive.
