Each session offers a variety of backpacking trips, from overnights to multi-day trips into the near-by Trinity Alps.  The range of destinations offers campers the option of choosing an out-trip that matches their skills and hiking endurance. Trips to the Trinity Alps are open to campers 12 and up.

Our backpacking program is designed to give campers an opportunity to test themselves physically, while exploring the rugged and beautiful mountains that surround the Ranch. Physical challenge, small group size, and strong leadership combine to create an experience where the bonds of friendship form easily.  The sense of shared accomplishment gives campers a hands-on awareness of the innate satisfaction that comes with effective teamwork.

At Camp Trinity, we hire experienced staff specifically to plan and lead these challenging multi-day adventures. Trips are carefully planned with a detailed itinerary.  The Out-Trip Room is stocked with equipment and supplies for backcountry cooking, water filtration, and emergency communications.  For recommendations on what equipment campers need for backpacking trips, please see our packing and equipment list.
