Many factors go into setting up an optimal campsite including tent setting, firebuilding, cooking, bear-bag hanging, etc. Clinic participants will learn about the camping triangle, the W's of campsite selection, and how to properly set up tents and hammocks. After learning the theory, participants will have the opportunity to put their skills into practice by creating a mock campsite.

Hike through abundant high-elevation beauty at Roan Mountain, a series of five mountain summits on the Appalachian Trail near the NC / TN state line. With gorgeous views, lush forest and abundant wildflowers, the remarkable beauty of Roan's highlands, knobs and bluffs make for an exceptional backpacking adventure. We will hike by day and enjoy the night either in a wonderful barn which is a vestige of past times, or under the stars right outside. The stars here are some of the most beautiful we have seen.
