Distance will range from 5-7 miles per day with up to 1500 feet elevation gains. The course will push participants to some incredible scenery, gorgeous vistas and rarely traversed backcountry of the Mayacama Mountains. Food and all backpacking gear are included. Participants will learn advanced Light and Ultralight backpacking strategies, simple wilderness first aid, and wilderness ethics, while also being immersed in the ecology of the Mayacama Mountains with interpretation from guides. This camp encourages long-lasting memories, appreciation for the outdoors, and a better awareness of ourselves and the world around us.
