College Outdoors Breakaway Adventures
EQUIPMENT INFORMATION FORM
Sea Kayaking Trips
Use this form to tell us what personal outdoor equipment you have and what you’ll
need to borrow from College Outdoors. Please fill out this form completely,
even if you do not plan to borrow equipment from us. We would like to accommodate
as many students as possible on all of our trips, and in order to plan we need
to know what equipment you need. Please fill out and return this form to College
Outdoors Breakaway Adventures. If you have any questions, please call us at (503)
768-7116.
Note: We will let you know if we are unable to fill your equipment requests
within a week of receiving your form. Usually, we are able to fill all requests.
Don’t go out and buy equipment just for this trip if your family doesn’t already own it. We do encourage you to bring your own personal equipment if you have it, because it may be more familiar or comfortable for you. However, we have plenty to loan.
If you borrow equipment from your family or bring your own, make sure
it matches what is required for your trip. Check the separate Personal
Equipment List just to be sure!

The items listed here are essential. Before your trip leaves, we’ll check to make sure you have the gear listed on this sheet if you have not requested it from us. Don’t forget that you can borrow equipment from friends and relatives as well as from us. Also watch for summer sales and even shop the thrift stores for some of the items. Additionally, please remember to turn in your Equipment Information Form immediately. We need it by July 13th at the latest. You can always call us if your needs change
A note about cotton: Cotton kills! Cotton has no place on outdoor trips except as T-shirts, bandannas, underwear, and occasionally shorts (although nylon shorts are better). Cotton robs your body of heat if it gets wet and can cause hypothermia. Never bring cotton long underwear, cotton jeans, cotton fleece jackets, cotton sweats, or similar items. Call us at (503) 768-7116 if you’d like more information.
I want to buy my own gear, can you recommend what I should buy?
If you prefer to get some of your own gear but are having difficulty finding a place to shop, give us a call! We can recommend vendors and discounted gear dealers.
