About This Activity
Ready to take your first steps into backpacking? Backpacking 101 introduces campers to overnight adventure through a supported, close-to-home experience. Campers head out on a two-day, one-night backpacking trip, building confidence as they learn what it takes to travel and camp comfortably outdoors. The journey includes hiking the Borrego Trail and camping beside Tesuque Creek, where campers experience life on the trail—hiking, setting up camp, cooking meals, and sleeping under the stars. Along the way, campers learn essential skills like packing a backpack, planning simple meals, and caring for their gear and the environment—balanced with plenty of time for games, exploration, shelter-building, and fun. This camp is a perfect introduction for Trailblazers ready to try something new and discover just how capable they are.
