Empowerment Series Event: Learn How to Backpack With The Outdoors Club!

Join us for an Empowerment Series event with Denison Outdoors Club!

Join the Outdoors Club for an action-packed, hands-on afternoon where you’ll learn the essentials of backpack camping! On Saturday, March 7th from 1:30–3:30 PM at Lamson Lodge, we’ll be teaching you how to properly pack a backpacking pack, set up a tent, use a camping stove, and build and light a campfire. After learning the basics, you’ll get to put your skills to the test in some competitions to see who can set up their tent the fastest and who can light a fire the quickest. There will be special prizes for our winners (Patagonia gear!!!!), plus tons of giveaways including first aid kits, whistles, reusable camping utensils, and more! You can also create your own custom snack at our FREE trail mix bar and celebrate your new outdoor skills by roasting s’mores over the fire we build together. You will not want to miss this fun, interactive, and totally free event — it’s the perfect opportunity to get outside, learn something new, and connect with fellow outdoor enthusiasts!

All are welcome!
