This beginner backpacking course is for high school students only. Your child must be entering grades 9-12 in order to participate. While this is an introductory course, please note that backpacking in general is a physical challenge. We will camp each night and our days will include 3-6 miles of hiking each day while wearing a pack up to 1/3 of our body weight. The expedition takes place over 7 days in Uinta National Forest and students will learn everything from how to travel as a group, to how to practice Leave No Trace, to navigating using a map and compass.
