CPO1 Backpacking the Porcupine Mountains (Nature Day Camp)
This extended backpacking trip allows adventurers to spend seven days in the wilderness of Michigan's largest state park. As we leave behind all of the "extras" of everyday life, we'll appreciate old growth forests, waterfalls, and breathtaking views of the Porcupine Mountains. We'll enjoy new friendships, learn new skills, and gain confidence as we successfully complete the route we have chosen. The first day of this trip will include team building, planning, and organizing for the trip. Join us for this amazing adventure, perhaps we will catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights dancing over Lake Superior.
