For the Moose & Gitchigumi Canoeing trip you will need a passport to travel into Canada and back into the US. It might also be a good idea to bring a State Driver License or State ID, which you should be able to get at your local DMV. You'll also need a letter from your parents stating that you are participating in the trip and that Crystalaire Adventures is responsible for you while you're on the trip. US CBP also suggests that this note be notarized. While CBP may not ask to see this documentation, if they do ask, and you do not have it, we may be detained until the circumstances of the child traveling without both parents can be fully assessed.
**REMEMBER: You have to carry everything you bring plus group equipment and food everyday !
