Testimonials
"I grew up in Bend and have always loved the outdoors, but I am new to backpacking. Cody and Khyra show me how to make delicious meals, how to pack and basic trail etiquette. Knowing I am well prepared has really motivated me to join more overnight trips!" - Jill
“Completely enjoyed the workshop we attended. Excellent information and learned valuable prepping skills for the upcoming hiking season! Looking forward to more classes with Khyra and Cody.” - Liz
“Great practical value for camping and hiking. We made meals that were more nutritious and less expensive than store bought.” - Bryan
“Wildland Guiding Company hosted a wonderful Backpacking Food Workshop! Going into it I felt uncomfortable creating my own backpacking meals and would rather purchase a pre-made package. Walking out of the class I felt confident that I could put together my own meals and create the meals that I want to eat, not just what's available pre-made.” - Natallie
Don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions or concerns. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Will I share a bed with someone I don’t know?We added tiered options for sleeping arrangements - you get to choose. There are three options for sleeping preferences ("personal camper," “shared/book together” and “solo”) and three kinds of beds (full futon, full bed, queen). Our most affordable option, the "personal camper" option is for those coming with their van, trailer, RV, truck bed camper, etc. Depending on the length of your camper, you can park in one of the cabin driveways or in the camping area, with access to the public restrooms/showers. The group cabin accommodation fee is replaced by camp accommodation fee charged by Summer Lake Hot Springs, factored into the price. The “shared/book together” option is for those who are booking with another person or for those who will share a bed with another retreat attendee. If you are booking this option for two people please keep in mind that each person will book separately. When booking for the second person please choose the same sleeping option. The “solo” option is for those who would like the bed to themselves. Any questions? Reach out to us!
