About this camp

Campers set up a backcountry base camp, run Bitterroot peaks, and tackle challenging fitness goals.

The week will start with a day of preparation—learning the basics of setting up a base camp in the backcountry. On Tuesday, we will take off for the Bitterroot to set up base camp and then we’ll spend Wednesday and Thursday hitting some peaks and getting into amazing terrain. Campers will tackle challenging fitness goals while exploring personal strengths, values, and passions.
