Backpacking is an adventure for anyone interested in building confidence, self-sufficiency, and teamwork in the natural beauty of our environment. Our backpacking trips emphasize the exploration of nature away from the distractions of civilization. We seek out trails that a beginner backpacker could hike and an experienced backpacker could learn from.
Participants learn outdoor survival skills, self-sufficiency, and wilderness ethics.
Careful planning goes into each trip to ensure camper safety, beginning with experienced guides and the selection of well-marked and maintained trails. The drop deadline is the week before the pre-trip meeting. For trip itineraries, call the Parks and Community Services Department.
