Our multi-day trips are designed to encourage leadership, the use of minimum impact wilderness techniques, and an understanding of the flora and fauna which surround us. Learn how to read maps and orient yourself, build shelters in the snow, properly use tents and camping equipment, and purify drinking water. Perfect for the beginner who wants to become confident with the outdoors or for those with more experience who want to increase their backcountry skills. Enjoy the outdoors and improve your fitness level at the same time! |
