Do you experience FOMO when your friends go camping? Wanna join but don’t know where to get started? Come to this Essentials class to learn:

Why go backpacking in the first place, how to pick a destination, and where to get permits and when.

Put together your kit including the backpack, personal items, first aid, food and water, as well as shelter and more.

You’ll be able to see live demonstrations of various pieces of gear and hear about the trade-offs between different options.
