RYP partners with the new REI co-op store in City Gate to learn more about backpacking and give RYP members a chance to meet like-minded people and build relationships for future adventures.

REI will take the mystery out of Backpacking with an overview of planning, preparation and gear.  In this presentation style class, learn how to choose a pack, select proper clothing and footwear. Plus, we’ll give you important notes on trail etiquette and Leave No Trace principles. Let REI help you understand what you need to reach your destination

The clinic is FREE and registration is ENCOURAGED. This event is expected to fill up
