🏕️ Renting is easy! Recently, a DeKalb Community District teacher rented a tent from NIU Recreation Adventures for their trip to Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona. 🌵✈️
“The equipment and bag were light and traveled well by plane. The best part was the extra tarp/flap that kept sand from blowing into the tent — other tents didn’t have this feature!”
A big thank you to all the teachers and community members who rent our outdoor gear and take us along on their adventures! 💛
