Gear Rental


In order to participate in your course, you will need to purchase, rent, or borrow the equipment listed in your Course Registration Packet. Having the proper gear will make for a much more comfortable experience, so please ask us if you have any questions. Please note that you are responsible for carrying your own personal equipment during our course, so pack light. If something is not on the equipment list, you do not need it during our course.

If you plan on purchasing equipment for your course, you can buy gear online through REI and support the Cottonwood Institute’s Jason F. Griffith Scholarship Fund! Please visit the Cottonwood Institute Store at: http://www.cottonwoodinstitute.org/cottonwood_institute/store.html for more information.

The Cottonwood Institute has the following gear available for rental. To rent equipment for your course, please contact us at 303.447.1076 as soon as possible.
