Description
This is a 5 day overnight camp for those who are interested in learning how to backpack and experience wilderness travel. Participants in this program will take on a 2-night backpacking trip up Black Mountain. Campers will get to know the Adobe Creek watershed by exploring the wilderness surrounding Hidden Villa and the nearby Foothills Nature Preserve. They will learn Leave No Trace principles, wilderness skills and create lasting bonds with their fellow campers.
Previous backpacking experience is not required. In fact, we encourage those who are new to hiking and camping to sign up as this is an excellent stepping stone program for campers who may want to participate in our two week Bay 2 Sea backpacking program one day!
