Cascades, Back Packing Trip
Description
Have you ever wanted to hike into Cascades, pitch a tent, sleep by a lake, cook a meal in the great outdoors, learn to filter your own water from a stream, and navigate your own route with a map and compass (and GPS)? This program will spend one full day of instruction and preparation at OES where you will learn about the specifics of the equipment and trip itself. Then we will head out for a four day/ three-night backpack trip in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. This trip will be led by OES Experiential Educators Tom Handel and Paul Taylor. Combined these two experienced backpacking instructors have been leading teens into the wilderness and back for over four decades. Group size: 7 students.
