“Intro to Backpacking” Spring Camp at Newcastle Island, BC

We’re heading to Newcastle Island for the May long weekend! Newcastle is a protected marine park off the coast of Nanaimo. We’re staying at a group camping site overlooking the ocean. This is an “intro to backpacking camp,” where Pathfinders will plan meals appropriate for the trail, cook in pairs, use and learn about backpacking gear, and earn the BC Spring Camping challenge!

This will also be gold camp for any 3rd years completing their Canada Cord this year.

Please complete the forms below and return with payment of $40 to a Unit Guider no later than May 2. We’ll be using RSVPs to plan food, gear, etc. starting May 2nd, so need to know who is coming to camp to ensure the plans include everyone!
