In this mini backpacking adventure campers will learn or practice the basics of packing and carrying a pack, practice leave no trace principles, and really feel the confidence, self-reliance and the victory of reaching this breathtaking destination- while making friends along the way. Nested all the way on the tip of the Olympic peninsula on the Makah reservation we will hike an easy, mostly flat 5 miles through dense coastal forest until we reach the switchbacks that take us 1000 feet down to the tide pools and secluded beach where we will stay two nights. The star gazing is unreal, the tidepools marvelous and this is a trip attainable for all kids ready to backpack. *A  45L or bigger backpacking backpack is required. We do have a limited number of loaner packs, so please request them early if you plan to use a camp pack. You can add notes at checkout to request a pack or send us an email; teambwac@gmail.com
