Event details: Essential Camping Skills (Outing)- REI Outdoor School
Description
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.
Trip operates rain or shine unless conditions are unsafe. Trip leaders will make any weather-related decisions on the day of the trip.
