Day 1 - This is only a meeting day. We have a mandatory meeting at 6:00 pm at the hotel. The meeting lets the guides formally introduce themselves and give everyone a pretrip briefing. The guides will discuss the plan for the following 4 days and hand out dry bags so everyone can pack that night. The meeting will last for about an hour and a half.

Day 2 - The group will meet in the hotel lobby for the van ride to Whittier where we board a motor boat for the trip out to Icy Bay Camp. After setting camp, the guides will give a basic paddling instruction course and then the group will go for a short warm up paddle.
