Gear Recommendations

Outdoor gear helps children stay comfortable, safe, and ready for outdoor adventures in every season, no matter the weather. From waterproof jackets and sturdy boots to sun hats and insulated layers, having the right clothing and equipment makes all the difference in ensuring a fun and worry-free day outside. You can access our detailed gear recommendations here for guidance on clothing, footwear, backpacks, and essential items to help your child thrive during their time at Sanctuary Forest School.

Bright colors like orange, yellow, and neon pink are fantastic choices for your child’s outdoor gear! These vibrant shades not only add a fun pop of color but also help keep kids visible and safe during outdoor adventures, especially in wooded or low-light environments. We recommend choosing gear in these bright hues to make sure your little explorer stands out and stays easy to spot throughout the day.

We recommend choosing separate pants and coats for rain and snow gear to make outdoor bathroom trips easier for your child. This way, they can quickly and comfortably manage toileting without having to remove multiple layers, helping them stay warm and dry throughout the day.

Please note that The Sanctuary Forest School is not affiliated with or sponsored by Reima or Kamik. We include these brands in our gear recommendations solely because they are well-regarded and popular for outdoor apparel among families. Our intent is to offer helpful guidance to support your child’s comfort, safety, and readiness for outdoor learning experiences
