Have you wanted to hike in the outdoors but don’t know where to start? Welcome to Adventure Hikes on the Olympic Peninsula! In this beginner series class, you will have the opportunity to learn a multitude of outdoors skills for either day hiking or backpacking overnight in a 1-day weekend day hiking session. Learn about carrying the 10 Essentials, making a first aid kit, wilderness safety, setting up your camp, navigation options, trip planning, food prep, gear usage and field maintenance, wild animal encounters, and more! In this group setting, students are welcome to bring their collection of hiking and backpacking gear so that we can stage campsite setups, emergency scenarios, and enjoy a lovely day hike on the Olympic Peninsula!
