Group backpacking Trips
Backpacking is just plain fun. Move through the wilderness, enjoy some excellent views, bask in nature. Backpacking is also one of the core tenants of outdoor travel, and knowing the skills necessary will help propel you on a lifetime of adventure. In these group courses you will meet with one of our excellent guides on the morning of the first day, and be taken through a transformative experience. We will get you outfitted with the necessary gear, teach you how to use it, and go for a walk in the woods! At camp we will discuss how to select campsites, setting up camp, wilderness and wildlife considerations for cooking, Leave no trace, and much much more!
Families and Friends are encouraged to sign up together! No experience is required, that’s where we come in.
