Gear List

Clothing/gear/etc.
Mohr's Explorers is an outdoor program, so it is important to always be prepared for any type of weather. Before heading out for the day, check the daily forecast and make sure to pack the appropriate clothes.

If it is lightly raining, we still go outside, so all Explorers are expected to pack a rain jacket. Umbrellas are not recommended; rain jackets keep your hands free! If it is pouring, we usually go to a nearby museum for a nature-oriented scavenger hunt or to an available facility at the school.

On warmer days, shorts, t-shirts, etc. are fine. Grass and dirt stains are the norm, so it is suggested to wear suitable clothing. Sneakers or hiking shoes are best - flip-flops, sandals, dress shoes, etc. are not recommended.

If your child is without proper clothes, he/she may not be allowed to participate. Examples are short socks and sneakers when there are several inches of snow, shorts or t-shirts in frigid temperatures, etc. (yes, it has all happened before!) In the winter, or anytime the weather dips below 40°, your child will need to be prepared with the following:

Winter coat: This may seem obvious, but a nice, warm coat is essential.
Winter hat: One that covers the ears.
Waterproof gloves for snow: Thin, cotton/wool/knit/fleece-type gloves are normally fine in cold weather, but hands get extremely cold once they become wet with snow.
Winter boots: One of the benefits of being an Explorer is that even though the snow has melted from the city streets, it can stay in the park for weeks. If you're not sure, always pack boots (waterproof are best). Low-cut boots are not recommended - snow will seep in. Wet feet + cold weather = a miserable afternoon.
Layers of clothing: Snow pants, a sweatshirt/fleece under the coat, long johns, extra shirts and two pairs of socks (strongly recommended; cold toes and/or wet feet = a very bad day).
Scarf: Not only will it keep your child warm, it will also help keep snow out of his/her shirt.
