Come hike and camp with us in New Hampshire for a 3-day, 2-night backpacking trip in BIPOC community! This trip is for people who are new or intermediate backpackers who want to develop their backpacking skills in a BIPOC-centered environment. Experienced trip leaders will instruct participants in the basics of navigation, setting up camp, and other backcountry skills. We’ll hike, camp, and build community in the woods!

Participants will be carrying their own backpacks weighing 30-35 pounds and will be sleeping in tents at rustic backcountry campsites. Reach out to us with any questions or concerns about if this trip is right for you!
