Earn your "You CAN Take It With You" summer reading activity badge!

Backpack camping is a different kind of adventure - one where everything you need to survive must be brought along with you as you hike.  During this presentation, Jacob and Samatha Huber present a "Show & Tell" of the equipment they use when they camp.  They will also discuss:

  • how to find the best places for your family to hike and camp,
  • what food and water supplies are needed,
  • how to protect yourself from the dangers in the woods, and
  • how to take only memories and leave only footprints.
