AMC / REI Backpacking Gear Workshop

AMC is teaming up with REI (Christiana) to bring you an exciting, hands‑on backpacking workshop designed to spark confidence, curiosity, and a sense of adventure.
If you’ve been day hiking and are eager to take that next bold step into the backcountry, this backpacking primer is your perfect launchpad. You’ll learn what gear you actually need, how to use it, and how to feel prepared for your first (or next!) night under a sky full of stars.

Join us for a relaxed, engaging workshop featuring:

• Backpacking gear selection + engaging demos
• The Wilderness 10 Essentials
• Backpack fitting/sizing
• Menu planning & trail‑friendly nutrition
• Campsite setup basics
• Trail safety tips and more!

You’ll walk away inspired, better prepared, and excited to plan your next getaway into the wild. Plus, you’ll connect with fellow adventure‑seekers who are just as eager to explore.
Come discover new gear, new skills, and new confidence—all in a fun, welcoming atmosphere.
