Girls Who Hike Virginia and Virginia Outdoor Women are teaming up to offer an Advanced Hiking Workshop: Intro to Backpacking, designed to help experienced hikers take the next step into overnight adventures. This hands-on, learning experience combines a practical instruction on backpacking gear, camp setup, food systems, water filtration, Leave No Trace practices for the backcountry as well as touching on basic emergency survival skills. This program is ideal for those ready to build confidence, learn new skills, and transition from day hikes to planning their first backpacking trips.

The workshop runs from 1 pm - 5 pm and will include a short group hike.
