Intro to Camping
Are you interested in camping but are not sure how to get started or what gear you will need? If yes, join our upcoming Intro to Camping sessions to gain the confidence to venture out on your own.

This workshop series aims to help newcomers get acquainted with car camping in BC. You will learn about considerations when choosing a campground, how to reserve a site, what gear you will need, and how to choose and where to get your gear. The second session will be an outdoor hands-on session where you will be setting up tents, learning about tarps, setting up your camp kitchen, cooking and sharing a meal.
