About the Event
BIPOC Outdoor Gear Library and Paddle Like a Girl are excited to bring you this backcountry camping workshop where you will gain all the basic skills to start backcountry tripping. Tori and Shari of Paddle Like a Girl will get you out on the water and feeling comfortable in a canoe by the end of their 4-hour workshop. While Dee and Karen of BIPOC Outdoor Gear Library will have you rigging up a safe and comfortable campsite in no time! Join us after the workshop for dinner around the campfire and some good conversation. This is intended as an overnight camping excursion. A private group site has been booked and you will have access to your vehicle. Stick around in the morning for a light breakfast and restorative yoga with Selam Debs.
