Come and play in the snow with us! We’ll build a snow fort! (Actually, we’ll build snow shelters. They are warmer.)
Maybe you enjoy the serene quiet and crisp air of winter hikes. Maybe you’d like to learn how to stay warmer while skiing or climbing. Maybe you’d like to make sure you’d know how to deal with an unexpected overnight stay in the cold and on snow. Maybe you are planning to attempt one of the big snow mountains like Rainer or Denali. Maybe you’d like to learn how to use snow for shelter. Maybe you’d just like to challenge yourself to master cold weather camping. If any of these apply, the CMC Winter Camping School is for you. |
| The Winter Camping School concentrates on the fundamental understanding, equipment and techniques to keep warm in cold environment on an overnight stay. It covers topics as clothing, traveling, setting up campsite, cooking and sleeping comfortably in the winter wilderness. Skills learned in this school are applicable for anyone who plans to spend time in the winter wilderness including hikers, snowshoers, campers, climbers and skiers. The Winter Camping School is open to any member of the CMC regardless of group membership or classification. There are no prerequisites but prior completion of the CMC Wilderness Trekking School is recommended. |  |
The 2013 Winter Camping School has ended. Watch for information about the 2014 school in the Fall.
