Friday April, 25 – Sunday April, 27th are the dates for the 2007 NCSP training weekend. It’s time to pull out your gear. Air out those tents, hang up the sleeping bags, pull out PFD’s and wetsuits. We won’t even discuss the smelly booties. You won’t need to bring any boats this year as we are concentrating on other skills. Boating skills will be practiced on the river after training.
Please bring your ID badges with you from last year. We will update the valid dates on each badge rather than reprinting all new badges. So. The lovely photo we had of you last year will be the same one you’ll carry this year! New members will be photographed and receive new badges, although we may mail them rather than trying to create them onsite.
Required Gear for Training
Veteran members will bring trucks full of gear. For new members the list is a bit lighter. You are expected to have the following:
3 locking D carabineers
1 Throw Bag
Good quality PFD (rescue version NOT req.)
Boat (Canoe or Kayak) [not required for training weekend]
Wet/Dry suit (can be rented at KC if necessary)
1 good helmet
1 pair of river shoes/booties (we recommend felt sole if you can find them)
This is NOT all inclusive, if you have more that you normally paddle with, bring it. Also, you will be provided with a more complete list of patrol gear at check-in.
Camping
Please remember, Kittatinny donates Lukes Landing for our use during training weekend. We are their guests and should act appropriately. The campground will be patrolled for litter prior to our departure on Sunday. All campsites should be left as you found them. No glass bottles are allowed in the campground. RV’s are permitted but it is primitive camping. No hookups except water, which may be shared with other campers. Picnic tables and fire circles are provided. There are hot showers available across the street at the main section of the campground.
