Learn and practice backpacking skills, enjoy a mid-May weekend in the Hoosier National Forest.
We will hike in on an easy, well-traveled trail; establish camp near Terrill Pond. We will set-up our tents and explore this wonderful area. Also learn the various water filtration options, how to build a fire, how to prepare a backcountry dinner and a breakfast the next morning.
After breakfast, we will pack up, using leave no trace techniques and hike back to the trailhead.
