You can join us as an absolute beginner, and ask all kinds of questions about camping.
During a day and night in Hammarskog, south of Uppsala, we will;
- Look at different types of tents and how to use them.
- Look at cooking gear and how to use them.
- Talk about how to plan an adventure in the wild, when it comes to packing, safety, location…
- You are welcome to bring your own gear (see below), if you have and want to. If you dont have your own things, we have tents, sleeping bags, sleeping mats and cooking gear to lend.
- NOTE! You may have to share tent with another person.
- Free of charge!
