A dual-purpose community gathering! Bring a dish to share and any gently used camping gear (boots, backpacks, jackets) that your children have outgrown. It’s a great way to declutter your garage and help other families gear up for the spring expedition.
A mandatory 'shakedown' hike to test our physical fitness and equipment before the main trip. We will hike a moderate 5-mile loop. This is the time to break in new hiking boots and ensure your day-pack fits correctly.

Refining our logistics! We will practice setting up the group's 6-person tents for speed and stability. Simultaneously, the food committee will demonstrate how to safely operate the propane camp stoves and practice the 'bear bag' food hanging technique.
The main event! A 3-day, 2-night camping trip to Joshua Tree National Park. We will be staying at the Jumbo Rocks Campground. Activities include rock scrambling, star gazing, and desert ecology walks.
