What to Bring
Drums – The ideal type of drum to bring is a djembe. They come in many sizes and any size will work well. If you don’t have access to a djembe, an ashiko, doumbek or conga will also be good. If you do not have any drum to bring for the weekend, please make sure you let us know, as we have a limited number of drums to loan out for the weekend. If you have an extra drum you’d be willing to loan, please let us know. If you have any questions about this, feel free to contact us.
Other – Besides standard camping gear for tent camping (including a tent), please be sure to bring a yoga mat and yoga props (props are optional), kayak (if you have one), walking shoes, sleeping bag, pillow, towel, rain gear, chair for drum circles (lawn, folding or camping chair), and any food you’d like to bring.
