Have you wanted to go camping overnight in the backcountry or go backpacking in the backcountry but don't quite have the knowledge to do it or may have some questions that you want answered? I have a presentation for you! A presentation dedicated to enjoying an overnight camping trip and understanding what you need. By the end of the session, participants will understand:

Appropriate Footwear

Cooking systems

Sleeping systems

Site selection and set up
We will be meeting at Canada West Mountain School in North Vancouver at 6:00pm. Please bring a face mask, hand sanitizer and whatever you need to learn (if you want to use your phone to take notes that is perfectly fine).
