Important note: this list is just a general overview - check the specific program information provided to you for any extra requirements for your program.
For a day hike (not overnight), you will need these items:

- Sturdy clothing - you are advised not to bring cotton clothing if possible, especially on longer trips, as it traps sweat and saps body heat when wet. Wool and synthetic fibres/cotton blends such as sports shirts are suitable
- A hat
- Close-toed shoes - not thongs or sandals. Boots are preferable
- Waterproof rainjacket
- Warm clothing if the weather is cold - fleece jackets, thermals, beanies, woolen socks
