Itinerary:
Have you wanted to sign up for a backpacking trip but do not have the equipment or knowledge of  what is involved? Come join Lisa and John for an informal Backpacker training. We will show you some of our favorite equipment and give you the encouragement to sign up for future backpacking trips. This training will be geared towards people with no backpacking experience and those that have some basic beginner knowledge. REI has agreed to let us use their small conference room for an hour. We can also walk around the store and check out some of REI's backpacking gear.

Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
Pen and paper if you want to write down information.
