Backpacking
Backpacking is one of the best ways to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and connect with nature. Big Sister Team Building Outdoor Adventurers will introduce you to the skills you need to explore the outdoors on foot. We teach the basics such as using a compass, fire building, etiquette on or off-trail, setting up camp, and even administering first aid. Our last Backpacking Workshop was February 2020, check back frequently for another workshop or get a group together and contact us for a private session.
Camping and Hiking
Once you have some basic information and skills about hiking and backpacking, we give you an opportunity to put those skills to the test by enjoying a Camping and Hiking Outing. We know the Outdoors can be a little intimidating, so let’s help ease your fears. Our small group outings will introduce you (again) to the basics of camping, sleep systems, gear, clothing, food, navigation and just having fun while outdoors.
