Intro into Backpacking

Are you ready to start exploring the backcountry and staying overnight, but don't know where to start? Uplift Adventures is instructing an Intro into Backpacking program to build your confidence in the outdoors so that you can learn how to trip plan, plan your backpacking trip, be safe, and make good decisions in the backcountry. What to Expect: This adventure begins on Friday night with a classroom session to get your head in the game and eyes on the prize. Uplift Adventures will go over how to pack, trip planning, and how to prepare for the adventure. On Saturday morning, you will head out to the trailhead to start the trip for an overnight backpacking adventure. While taking in the beautiful scenery of the South Canadian Rockies, field skills will be taught including some basic navigation, setting up a campsite, backcountry cooking, efficiencies, safety, and more. On Sunday, camp will be packed up and then you will head back to the trailhead.
