Priority for this "Practice Camp" field trip is for the Summit Sistah's B3 mentor group. We will backpack approximately half a mile from the Program Center to Magnuson park where we will practice setting up camp, treating water, preparing a backpack meal and then packing up and walking back. If you don't have your own gear yet or are still missing a few key pieces, that's perfectly OK.
Students from other mentor groups are welcome if space allows.
Required Equipment
