Curious about winter camping but not ready to invest in all the gear? Our Intro to Winter Camping experience is designed for people who have always wanted to try winter camping in a more accessible, supported way.

This hands-on day course gives participants the chance to experience the comfort and charm of winter camping in a canvas tent heated by a wood stove. We help take the intimidation out of getting started by walking you through the setup process, including pitching the tent, setting up the stove, and going over the basics of staying warm, safe, and comfortable in winter conditions.

This is a great option for beginners, outdoor enthusiasts, or anyone who wants to experience the magic of winter camping without needing to own all the equipment or fully commit to a self-led trip. We can also assist with firewood if needed, and firewood can be purchased as an add-on for your experience.
