What sleeping bag temperature should you bring?
We recommend a summer sleeping bag for the camp. However, depending on your child’s needs, please use the guide below:
+5 to +10 degree - Summer Bag: Similar to sleeping with a sheet or light blanket
0-degree sleeping bag - Autumn/Spring Bag a good all-rounder but won’t keep you warm in the snow or frosty night – it’s about the same as a regular doona
-5 to -10 degree sleeping bag - Winter Bag - for typical winter climates – it should be similar to having flannelette sheets and an extra blanket or two
