The following are some testimonials from students who have taken BKPS:

 

“Class helped me feel more confident going into the backcountry and choosing

the path less taken.”

 

“Learning snow camping skills was interesting and useful -- something I never considered before!”

 

“Met some terrific people who I hope will remain hiking and backpacking partners.”

 

“The class exceeded my expectations. I valued the comradeship, instruction

and participation.”

 

“Fine, outstanding program. What really worked was the hands on map and compass during the October trip. It proved that you could actually follow a route up a mountain.”

 

“The hands on first aid training was also helpful.”

 

“I’ve always enjoyed the outdoors. Completing the backpacking school has raised the bar on my comfort level, allowing me to enjoy the outdoors even more while being safe.”
