Over the weekend\, you’ll take part in guided hikes\, a navigation workshop\, and learn the essentials of backcountry living — from hanging food safely to digging catholes responsibly. \nOur two evenings will be spent sharing meals\, stories\, and laughter under the stars. Sunday morning you get to wake up to a mountainside coffee and hot breakfast. After we are all thourogly caffeinated we will explore the surrounding mountain ranges with lighter packs and plenty of trail snacks.  We’ll hike out Monday morning\, refreshed and proud of what we’ve accomplished together. \nThis trip includes: \n\n\nAll meals (from trail lunches to hearty camp dinners) \n\n\nGroup hike \n\nWilderness First Responder\n\nFull backcountry set-up and instruction \n\n\nNavigation workshop and skill-building opportunities (optional) \n\n\nGroup gear (camp kitchen\, water filtration\, first aid\, in-reach) \n\n\nYou bring: \n\n\nPersonal camping and hiking gear (tent\, sleeping bag\, pack\, etc.) More detailed list to follow \n\n\nSense of adventure and willingness to embrace the wild \n\n\nExperience level:This trip is ideal for those with some hiking/backcountry experience who are ready to step into the world of backcountry camping.
