Thanks for your purchase!

REQUIRED PREPARATION*

Waiver: All participants must complete the participation waiver before a class begins. We will have waivers to pass out the day of the class.

Park Pass ($30 per vehicle): For classes inside Joshua Tree National Park, participants are now required to purchase a park pass. You can purchase a park pass online or pay at a park entrance. If you have an existing pass, you may use that at the entrance!

WHAT TO BRING

Here’s what we suggest for all of our field classes. (Which is already putting you on the right track!) For this class, not all items are necessary, but we do require close-toed shoes that are durable and sturdy, such as sneakers or hiking boots. We also require participants to bring water. For an hour-long class, 1L is sufficient. Desert essentials for all field courses (additional items in your upcoming class email may be added).

Water, between 3 and 4 liters per person for a full day outing
Food and snacks, easily packed and eaten in the field, for the duration of your course
Close-toed athletic shoes or hiking boots; no sandals, not even hiking sandals!
Sun protection: hat, sunglasses, sunscreen; light-colored long-sleeved shirts are recommended and very effective on hot days
Warm layers for cooler mornings/evenings (it can be surprisingly cold!)
Daypack to carry food, water, and any personal items you need for the day
Notebook and pencil are always good to have
