Rain Jacket – if we all bring one, we won’t need them. Rain or shine, this is a beautiful place !
Warm layers – it will probably be chilly sometimes… its Canada!
Easy-off shoes – you have to take them off to enter each building.
Warm socks – with your shoes off, you don’t want your feet to get cold!
Comfy clothes – for sitting on the floor, for relaxing, for yoga, for spending time outside

Ear plugs – even when you’re heading up to the wilderness, sometimes people snore.
