Camping Basics
These courses cover all of the skills you will need to take your girls on
an outdoor trip including: planning, packing, cooking, fire
building, care of camp site and
equipment, and
outdoor program ideas.
The only difference between the 'Camping Basics' courses is that the 2 overnights in
Camping Basics II give you a better understanding of a
 true camping
weekend.
You must attend all of the hours scheduled in a particular
course or you will not receive credit for taking the course.
Directions to sites will be sent with your confirmation.
All activities take place rain/snow or shine. Please come
prepared for outdoor activities. You will need ponchos for
rain and heavy coats, gloves, and boots for winter courses.
Courses in winter will have indoor heated accommodations.
Fee: $25
