Try Backpacking with Five Rivers MetroParks

Are you interested in backpacking but don't know how to get started? Then stop in anytime during MetroParks' hands-on backpacking program! Meet with staff and ask your backpacking questions, try on a backpack, experiment with some of the gear, and set off on the trail. Backpacks are available on a first-come first-served basis. Participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

This program is free. Registration is encouraged; walk-ins are welcome: https://www.metroparks.org/programs-events-finder/?program_number=V45&api=programs&type=program
