Ready to grab a pack and hike through the stunning mountains of Manning Park?

Join us on this exciting backpacking expedition to develop your leadership, teamwork and outdoor skills. Your group will support each other as you travel up steep inclines and learn to live out of a backpack. With the help of your instructors, the skills you learn in the backcountry can help you in school or at home.

AREA & ACTIVITIES

This course travels through Syilx, Stó:lō, and Nlaka’pamux Nations, and the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation: the traditional territories of the Chelan, Chief Joseph Band of Nez Perce, Colville, Entiat, Lakes, Methow, Moses-Columbia, Nespelem, Okanogan, Palus, San Poil, Wenatchi Nations.

The course begins with getting to know your team members and an introduction to backcountry living. Experienced instructors will teach you everything you need to know for your adventure, including how to pack an expedition backpack, stove use, shelter building, personal hygiene, minimal impact camping, and how to travel over various terrain both on and off-trail. By the end of the course, you will make decisions with minimal input from instructors. Your supportive instructors will also help you become more confident and reflect on the skills you have developed.



Character Development: This program helps build the following traits
