Men and women 16+
All creeds welcome.
This is an introductory backpacking experience for those of you curious about what it takes to prepare for backcountry adventure!
We’ll provide the gear, food, and expertise. You will need to provide carrying capacity for a minimum of one gallon of water (bladder, bottles, or collapsible jug).
No previous backpacking experience or wilderness knowledge is required. We won’t be traveling far: only three miles in and three miles out.
That doesn’t mean it will be easy.
We’ve got a bit of a climb to get to camp, but it will be worth it. And we’ll likely forget the pain as we prepare our dinner and watch the sunset from bluffs overlooking Crystal Cove State Park.
Over the course of the weekend we’ll talk about gear selection, how to pack for short and long trips, and general wilderness preparedness. You’ll learn how to set up a tent, filter water, and use a camp stove.
But that’s not the best part.
The best part is the conversations we’ll have, the primal thrill of sleeping under the stars and, for those who practice, the immense reward for prayers offered in the wilderness.
COVID-19: We are committed to keeping all participants healthy through smaller groups and the implementation of rigorous medical pre-screening, including a negative COVID test within the 72 hours prior to our initial gathering day. Once gathered, social distancing and the wearing of masks will neither be enforced nor discouraged.
Alternate date: 10/8
Book your spot with a 50% deposit ($100) that is fully refundable up to 28 days prior to our trip (refund deadline Saturday 8/13/2022). Refunds will not be offered after the aforementioned date except in cases of a documented or suspected COVID infection within 14 days of our event.
