Service Description

Two Days, One Night, All Adventure! Take the skills you learned in Backpacking 101 Basics and put them into action on this hands-on overnight trek. Sleep under the stars at a backcountry shelter, tent, or hammock of your choice, and practice everything from navigation and campsite selection to fire building, first aid, water filtration, food storage, and spotting wildlife. We’ll also cover personal hygiene, assessing trail and weather conditions, and all the little tricks that make backcountry life comfy and safe. What’s included: Basic gear (backpack, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, hiking poles, shelter), hearty breakfast and dinner. You’ll get a list of personal gear and food items to pack. Adventures take place in the stunning backcountry of Shenandoah National Park or the George Washington–Jefferson National Forest. Get ready to hike, learn, and make memories… the Next Bend way! 🥾🌲✨
