Hi everyone, so I am volunteering with a 5 day summer camp that will include quite a few vegans, and we expect the weather to be super hot. A lot of people won't be familiar with heat and activity. So we want to make sure people hydrate. There will be 40-50 people. We are trying to do this inexpensively./

What is a good recommendation for large quantity electrolyte drink? To have in large jugs people can fill their bottles with?

Because if we don't provide this I am afraid our outdoor activities are going to leave a lot of people suffering from mild to severe dehydration / lacking electrolytes.

There are a lot of different views on the interwebs about the necessary electrolytes and what products and how to DIY a drink yoursef. Salt and sugar and potassium I get but it sounds like some people are also saying calcium magnesium chloride potassium... himalyan rock salt... just squeezing a bunch of lemons and adding sugar... getting concentrated cranberry juice and adding salt... There are also tons of products like, gasp, Gatorade, which have a ton of sugar and are part of Big Food corporations that kill animals (even if there aren't animal products in the drink mix), and a lot of speciality products that seem like expensive overkill.

SO I'm confused as to what to tell to our volunteer team.

What do people recommend?

tl;dr need an electrolyte drink solution for 50 people at summer camp

PS

personally I use Nuun sport - not promoting it just personally it works great - I use half a tablet and drink it constantly. It is too expensive a solution for this however!
