On the Cascades Backpacking Adventure, we will spend our first day on-site in Olympia learning Leave No Trace principles, camping and packing skills, and developing the route and meal plan for our adventure. Then, for 4 days and 3 nights we’ll set out on a backpacking adventure to learn about outdoor leadership, wilderness survival, and alpine ecology. Each week Camp Wa-Ya will explore a different location in areas such as the Goat Rocks Wilderness, Olympic National Park, and Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Previous backpacking experience is not required. Campers will be provided a required gear list and detailed itinerary at least one week prior to the trip; we are able to loan most gear to participants for the trip upon request.
