What to bring?

For a one-night excursion, keep your packing light. Grab a few garbage bags to keep your personal items dry like sleeping bags, pillow, flashlight, glow sticks and snacks. Tip: grab a few shelf-stable cold brew coffees for mom/dad/grandparents in the morning.

Floating fire pits are first come first serve and really elevate your experience! Avoid a challenging start by bringing along a clean-burning 4-hour fire log. Don’t forget your lighter at home!
