Spring Break Backpacking in Henry W. Coe State Park

Spring break has always been a great time to spend a week outside and reset for the finishing months of the school year. This year, getting outside and reconnecting with peers means so much more than ever to our overall wellbeing. Stay at home orders and distance learning have made for a difficult year for all of us. Fieldguides is dedicated to making sure that the difficulty and darkness of this winter gives way to positivity and growth this spring. We are offering our spring break backpacking trips this year with an intentional awareness towards reconnecting with ourselves, our peers, and with the regenerating powers of nature. We are offering several trips at Henry W. Coe State Park to accommodate the various school district's spring breaks.
