SUMMARY:8-Day Backpacking Program

We’ll stay the first night at our base camp; testing out our tents and sleeping systems and the next morning we’ll depart for our off-trail adventure!  Throughout the expeditions\, students will learn and practice expeditionary skills such as navigation\, route finding\, risk management\, teamwork\, and leadership skills. \nStudent Eligibility\nStudents for this course must be able to hike off-trail 3-5 miles a day over uneven terrain with a 30-40 lb pack.​ They also must have the cognitive ability to follow directions specific to managing risks associated with backcountry travel such as staying together in a group\, using a camp stove\, setting up tents and tarps\, etc.\, etc.   \nOur COVID mitigation plan requires students to submit a negative COVID-19 test result that is dated within 72 hours of the program start date.
