Your first backpacking adventure can be intimidating! Questions like, where to go, what to pack, and how to carry it all can be overwhelming! 

Modes of Adventure's Intro to Backpacking course will set you up for success by guiding you through the whole process. 

Introduction to Hiking & Backpack Camping topics include:

• Trip planning
• Site selection

We will break down and simplify the process into manageable steps and practice them over three days and two nights in an environment that is wild yet feels safe. 

Participants will have the opportunity to try out different backpacks and footwear if time permits.
