Remember:
- Prevention is always better than a cure. Be sure to make the kids cover up when it’s hot outside. You can still get a sunburn on cloudy days!
- Layering is a great way for everyone to be comfortable on exploring expeditions. Being on Shasta Lake, you will DEFINITELY get up close and personal with nature. Planning a hike? Be sure to get the kids to wear long sleeves, socks, and long pants. This will prevent bites and burns.
