A
winter is not complete without at least one backcountry camping
trip. Load your backpacks full of camping supplies and join us
to snowshoe off into a winter wonderland of fresh Sierra Nevada
snow.
The
possibilities are endless when winter camping . . . Build a snow
cave, backcountry ski, snowshoe across the valley, sleep in tents
in a snow village that you build with new and old friends.
Learn
essential winter camping survival tips from our winter-savvy trip
leaders and never fear being stuck in the cold again. Watch the
sunset over the crystal white hills and celebrate the winter with
a raspberry slushy (Lifeschool secret recipe). Warm up at night
with hot drinks and sizzling fun campfires.
We
will finish the week off with a soak in a steamy sulfur hot spring
to reward those hard-working muscles and soothe the mind before
heading back to civilization.
