This was a chance for us to learn how to plan and carry out a backpacking trip. It was kept simple and used as a training event. We backpacked 2 miles into the wilderness on the east side of QSR crossing the dam, setting up camp, swimming in the lake and sleeping under the stars. We learned how to plan and carry out a safe and fun backpacking trip. Traveling light, we learned how to use backpaking stoves and how to purify the water we needed. After arriving at our camp area the boys decided to sleep out under the stars without tents because the weather was perfect and the moon was full. It was a lot of fun!
