OUT 180T - Winter Camping/Backcountry Travel

Credits: 1

This is a fantastic opportunity to learn how to camp and travel safely in a winter environment. Students will build their own snow shelters and sleep in them overnight. The weekend in the field will take place near Anthony Lakes Mountain Resort. An emphasis will be placed on proper clothing, equipment, and techniques needed for traveling and camping safely in snow. Students will travel using snow shoes or cross-country skis and carry camping gear in a backpack less than one mile from the trailhead. Be ready for an adventure! Winter camping is actually pretty fun! Offered Winter Term.
