Canoe camping  Sometimes we stay in a shelter when backpacking    Women on a 3-day camp adventure.

Multi-day Adventures

The fact is, the longer the trip, the more you get out of the wilderness experience.

If you choose wilderness camping as your overnight choice for custom multi-day ESCAPES, camping equipment will be provided. This includes tents, camp stove, kitchen shelter, and dry storage for paddling. You may opt for another type of lodging, such as a cabin, bed and breakfast, campground, lodge, or country inn. We can help you find local lodging for before, during, and after your adventure.

Camp Cooking  Hot food in the kitchen! Canoe camping  Drinking water made safe. 

"When you drink of the water, don't forget the spring from which it flows."   --Charles Dickens

Food and Water

For Custom trips, your guide may provide food and prepare scrumptious meals if you wish. For Packages and Special Events, see individual descriptions. Any dietary restrictions should be noted on the Medical Form. We do our best to provide you with New Hampshire made snacks and meals. Any water acquired in the wilderness for drinking purposes is treated first to prevent illness. We use low-impact camping practices and take out everything we carry in.

 

Cross Country Skiing  Sea kayak for lake and salt water paddling.  Lucie and Peter prepared for unpredictable weather.

Equipment Rentals

Appropriate, safe equipment in good repair is important for you to enjoy your outdoor experience. Outdoor ESCAPES NH will arrange recreation equipment rentals for you on our guided tours and lessons. You are welcome to bring your own, but it will be inspected before use.

Check with us for rental availability when booking Custom ESCAPES. Instruction is always included, as well as a personal gear list prior to your adventure. Note--our Packages usually include the rentals.
