Backpacking 101 Workshop

If you’re just starting out backpacking it can be a little overwhelming. We know, we’ve been there before and would like to help. If you are ready to take the leap from car camping and day hiking to overnight backpacking this class is for you!
Feel prepared for your first multi-day back-country adventure with advice from our trail experts. This class is designed specifically with the new backpacker in mind. We’ll teach you the beginner skills you need to plan your trip, pack appropriately, set up your campsite, and more.
After the presentation, work with our sales team to get you in the know on the appropriate gear needed for the hikes. We will focus on your needs and answer any questions you might have. Custom pack fitting and boot/shoe fitting will be available during this time.
