Our week-long Expedition Backpacking Summer Camp offers an immersive backcountry adventure through the Bridger-Teton National Forest, Wind River Range, and more. Designed for both newcomers to backpacking and seasoned explorers, this camp provides an unforgettable wilderness experience.

In a small group of campers, guided by two experienced instructors, participants will hike four to six hours each day, traversing breathtaking landscapes and even reaching a mountain summit! The itinerary balances challenging hike days with “layover” days, where campers can explore nearby peaks or alpine lakes with lighter day packs. Each evening, they’ll set up camp in picturesque locations, working together to pitch tents and prepare meals on backcountry stoves. Along the way, campers will learn vital skills such as adapting to changing weather, practicing safe backcountry travel, mastering Leave No Trace principles, enhancing teamwork, and building a deep appreciation for nature.

This camp encourages participants to step outside their comfort zones, fostering self-reliance and confidence that will inspire future adventures—or even prepare them to lead the next family outing into the wild.
