Details
Lacking the confidence to venture off into the woods on your own? Don’t really know what to expect, but always wanted to try? Trouble finding a hiking partner? Do you have what it takes to find your way in the outdoors? This is your portal to find out and start enjoying the great outdoors. If this is you, then read on.
I have heard so many people in the last year say they don’t go out hiking or backpacking on their own. Most attribute this to a lack of confidence in they’re own ability. The other big reason is concerns of being attacked by animals or other people. We have all heard the old “You’re more likely to be injured on your way to the, fill in the blank, while in your vehicle”; that is absolutely true for hiking and backpacking as well. Take that out of the equation and all that’s left is to educate yourself to prevent accidents from occurring. That’s exactly what these workshops are intended for. You can build confidence at your own pace, learn a lot along the way, and most likely make some good friends with the same mindset in the process.

This event will begin with a discussion of things to be considered when venturing out on your own for a day hike. This is a great opportunity to explore hiking and decide if it really is for you before spending money on the appropriate gear for more advanced exploits, like backpacking and camping.
After the workshop we will head down the trail for a short hike and put it all into action. This workshop will build your confidence enough to venture out on more extensive outings away from the city. Watch for those events and put your new found skills to the test.
