Packing Lists for Trips that Sleep in Cabins
These Trip types are based in cabins or bunkhouses owned by Dartmouth (or a partner organization) across New Hampshire. The facilities in each cabin vary, and participants can expect to sleep indoors in shared bunk rooms, use out-house style toilets, and have no access to electricity or running water.
