No worries, that is common for beginners. Most of our trips take place in public parks that people frequent during the day. You won’t be out in the isolated wilderness, and your car is usually within 75 yards of the campsite. Our staff will also attend all events, and you will be among the other participants. You won’t be alone, and our events are very family-friendly. Including movie nights. You can also take a camping class with us before ever going on a campout. CAMPING CLASS
All of our events are open to the public.
Simply put, we are NOT a Facebook or meetup group gathering. We are experts in our field.
Our instructors are CPR and/or wilderness first aid trained, plus instructors are vetted and certified and have 100s of hours of experience. We are true experts in our fields, not internet weekend warriors.
You certainly can, and we encourage it. You can bring as many friends as you like.
We host exclusive pet-friendly events; please check the event descriptions. In general, pets will only be allowed on pet-friendly hikes.
