Camping | what should i bring to school camping?
Many schools organise camping trips for students during school holiday. Parents with a gear checklist may feel confused about how to choose the best gear. We gather the most frequently asked questions below, and give you more ideas on choosing gear.

How to choose the right gear for my kids?
1. Backpack
Choose backpacks with adjustable torso length. Below two backpacks are fit for most kids after adjusting the torso length.
Those basic and large capacity, it can fully open by zipper. Packing easy design.Since every body size is different, it is recommended to try the backpack in person at the store.Talk to our Sport Leaders if you have questions.
2. Sleeping bag
Pay attention to the following points when choosing sleep bags: ~
Height vs sleeping bag length
If the sleeping bag is too small, you can’t turn around in it easily; sleeping bags that are too long will add unnecessary weight. The larger the space inside the sleeping bag, the more energy the body needs to keep warm.
Environmental temperature vs comfort temperature
The sleeping bag is marked with "comfort temperature". It is wise to choose sleeping bags according to the weather. Note that the temperature at the campsite can be much lower than in the urban area, you may need to choose a sleeping bag with lower comfort temperature.
Hood vs no hood
A sleeping bag without hood is more suitable for people who turn a lot when sleeping; since most of the heat dissipates from your head, sleeping bag with a hood is more efficient to reserve body temperature.
Material vs weight
Down sleeping bag is the lightest and the most expensive; synthetic fiber is usually heavier and the price is more affordable.
3. Sleeping mat
Sleeping mat improve sleeping quality, in addition to keep you away from the chill. There are different types of sleeping mats: foam, inflated, and self-inflated.
Foam - the lightest, easy to set up, easy to store; the one disadvantage is the large packed size. Usually tied outside backpack when carrying.
Inflated - available in different sizes and thicknesses. Depending on the material, the weight varies and have different styles.
Self-inflated - spongy placed inside the mattress and make it self-inflated. Usually thinner than the inflatable mat.
4. Pillow
Of course pillow is a must!
Inflatable pillows save space and weight more than regular pillows and improve the sleep quality during camping.
