Have you ever wanted to go backpacking but weren’t sure if it was something you were capable of or had the know-how to do? This introductory backpacking course is for you! Join us at the Center for Adventure and Outdoor Studies at Garrett College for a weekend backpacking trip designed for beginners.
The first evening will be spent at Garrett College learning about the equipment we will be using and how you might prepare for a trip of your own. The second day will be spent getting on the trail, backpacking, and enjoying camp. The final day will be spent cleaning up camp, hiking to the trailhead, and de-issuing gear at the Center for Adventure and Outdoor Studies at Garrett College.
All specialized equipment, food, permits, and travel to/from the trail are included in your course fee.
