Into The Wild

Join ACES naturalists for this overnight backcountry adventure full of safe survival fun! The backcountry can be exciting, challenging yet safe, and this class will help you prepare for such outdoor travel in the Rocky Mountains. Experience how to hike, backpack, camp and explore the outdoors safely while taking care of the environment that surrounds you. Learn new skills like orienteering, map reading, astronomy, what to pack on a day hike or for an overnight adventure, and what survival techniques will help you in case things don't go as planned! This class is sure to be the highlight of your summer! The lead instructor will be in touch with parents a few days before this class to answer questions and work out the details for this unforgettable camping experience.
Meet at ACES: Drop-off at 9:30am on Thursday, Pick-up at 2pm on Friday.


WHAT TO BRING: Gear List: sleeping bag, sleeping pad, tent (if available, kids can share), backpack, flashlight, 2 water bottles w/ screw top (not bike bottles), rain gear, clothing for warm and cold weather, wool or fleece hat and gloves, sturdy shoes or hiking boots, sandals, sunscreen, hat, sunglasses. Please leave toys, candy, and knives at home. Healthy kid-friendly food is provided - please let us know of any food allergies. The lead instructor for the course will touch base with you closer to the class to coordinate gear & transportation and to answer any questions you may have!

HOW TO GET THERE: Please bike or walk to ACES whenever possible - it's not only fun, it saves the planet! Every time you come to ACES in something other than your own car (carpools work, too) you will receive a sticker to place on our Alternative Transportation Board. At the end of the season we will give away GREAT PRIZES including ACES classes, bike accessories, reusable bags etc. Make it a family challenge and have fun with it!
