Food is an important aspect of any trip. Taking time to plan ahead and prepare delicious, nutritious, and well balanced meals is imperative to a successful adventure. We will go over how to create a menu, understand the calorie intake needed for different types of trips, review the types of foods and what you should and should not bring out on a trip.

Outdoor Leadership Series
The Outdoor Leadership Series is designed for aspiring outdoor enthusiasts or for professionals that want to gain new information or new perspectives on old skills. Each week, we will have an opportunity to explore a different topic. This course will be very informative and hands-on.
