Announcements
(Chill) Intro to Winter Backpacking: Missing WOOLF? Looking to get out and spend a night in nature, but never camped in the cold weather before? Join Brianna and Sam for a chill introduction to winter camping/backpacking! Learn how to stay warm and happy in the outdoors, all year round! We’ll be (tentatively) leaving at 3pm on Friday, March 1—hiking a chill 1.5mi to a campsite on the Long Trail, spending one splendiferous night in the woods, waking up in the morning and doing an optional fun hike before heading out—then returning to campus by 2pm on Saturday. We’re stoked. You’re stoked. Everyone’s stoked. Question, email [log in to unmask]. Sign up here to express interest!
