Join REI facilitators for this hands-on introduction to tent camping. Sleeping under the stars has never been easier. In this workshop, you'll practice setting up tents, get help selecting the best sleeping bag for you, and get practical experience to help you camp for the first (or second, or fifteenth) time. No experience is necessary. All gear will be provided.</div></blockquote><div><br>Registration for this event is required, with a maximum of 8.
