Event details: REI Outdoor School - Essential Camping Skills
Description
9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Camping is the foundation of most of our outdoor activities. No matter what sport you pursue, it all comes back to a pack, stove, tent and warm sleeping bag. Join the REI Outdoor School instructors as we teach you how to make a comfortable home for yourself in the wild.
We will leave the trailhead for a day hike with all our gear until we find that little patch of ground we can call home. Then, we will set up a model campsite using proper Leave-No-Trace skills. Our instructors will show you where to position your kitchen area, your ?bathroom facilities", and your tent site for maximum safety and comfort. Food storage and wildlife safety will also be covered.
Our goal is to teach practical camping skills for use in every situation from car camping to long-distance backpacking.
Upcoming Classes:
May 10 - Rockville REI
