Join us for Adventures in Backpacking! This three-week camp will provide you with all the skills necessary for overnight and wilderness camping! During weeks one and two we’ll teach you the how to’s…cooking in the outdoors, first aid, leave-no-trace ethics, and low impact camping, purifying and treating water, and gear maintenance.

Other activities include daily hikes to build stamina and endurance, a day at a ropes course, rock climbing, and a camping and whitewater rafting trip on the South Fork of the American River. During week three (August 16-20) we’ll spend five days in one of California’s wilderness areas and utilize our new skills! Let’s get back to nature!
