Details: Skills

Along the way we will learn basic camping and backpacking skills. Although the focus of the trip lies in connecting to nature, being responsible for our daily needs is a foundation for this connection. We aim to feel totally comfortable and at ease so that basic needs are not distractions. An emphasis on Leave No Trace ethics will have us leave minimal impact on the land. As our connection to nature deepens, so does our desire and responsibility to preserve and protect our lands and waters.
