Food and drink
Staying hydrated in the hot weather is key for your health.
Staying hydrated helps prevent heat exhaustion and heat stroke, two serious matters that can be avoided.
In addition to hydration, consider nutrition.
There’s no need to find yourself hangry when you’re supposed to be having fun.
Bring some easy-to-eat snacks like granola bars or apples along with you.
Bring some sunscreen and slather it everywhere to prevent sunburn and other skin issues.
Don’t forget to reapply!
The general rule of thumb is to do so every two hours.
Pack a first aid kit as well.
Items like band aids and Neosporin can help you out if you or your friends suffer any minor injuries.
