Mystic Lake Backpacking Expedition (July 21-25, Grades 7-9) - Bozeman, MT 2025

Hoist your backpack for five days and four nights as we explore the rugged and awe-inspiring scenery of the Gallatin Mountain Range! Cook backcountry meals, scout the perfect tent spot, spy on mountain goats, and share tales of the trail with your adventure buddies. Like many great adventures, these trips are more than the destination; learn to become a skilled backcountry traveler while acquiring practical backcountry knowledge. This is the perfect trip for middle schoolers with hiking and camping experience who are new to backpacking. The focus of the trip is strengthening backpacking skills, and students will hike no more than 5 miles per day. There will be a rest day in the middle of the trip. This camp includes 4 nights in the field. MOSS backpacking trips are led in partnership with Montana Wilderness School providing students access to the resources and staff expertise necessary for success! Note on our instructors: our instructors are highly qualified with Wilderness First Responder certifications and extensive experience in the backcountry. The instructors are prepared to keep students secure during inclement weather conditions including rain, thunderstorms, and heat.
