Let us help you with your first backpacking experience. Join our instructors on an overnight trip at Stone Mountain Park. You'll be tucked away at a special campsite, where you won't believe you're only 20 miles from downtown Atlanta. Our instructors explain how to choose and use equipment (including how to load and carry your backpack) to maximize your comfort and fun. You'll also learn about campsite selection, camp cooking, water treatment and Leave No Trace etiquette. Course includes all required gear (backpack, tent, sleeping bag, pad, stove, all cookware, trekking poles, and water filters) and food.
