Have you wanted to go explore a wilderness area or national park, but feel bogged down by permitting systems? This class will include a general overview of how to use Recreation.gov, the federal site that manages many backcountry permits and campgrounds. We’ll highlight how to book BWCA overnight permits and Superior National Forest campsites. You’ll have a chance to submit questions in advance to learn how to acquire permits for other areas.

Do you find yourself at a loss when it comes to tying knots? In this class we’ll practice tying a few useful knots for your everyday life and outdoor adventures. Just bring yourself! All materials provided.

Let’s get off the beaten path! Join this session to brainstorm with other like minds and learn about lesser known spots to explore the outdoors in the region. We’ll plan to focus on non-motorized or human-powered sports. You’ll have a chance to submit questions in advance to help us guide the discussion.
