Camping 101: Providence Dam Overnight

Leave the stress of the work week behind and join us for an experience that gives you the adventure of backpacking without the heavy lifting. For one all-inclusive price, we provide the tents, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, and all the cooking equipment. You just show up with your clothes and a pillow!

This program is perfect for beginners who want to try camping in a safe, guided environment. We will teach you how to pitch a tent, cook a delicious dinner over an open fire, and navigate the trails. After a moonlit hike along the historic Towpath and a campfire treat, you’ll sleep in a section of the park that is closed to the public at night. The next morning you’ll wake up to hot coffee, breakfast, and a stunning river view sunrise.
