The Tahoe Rim Trail Association will host two backcountry camps Aug. 6-7 and Sept. 3-5.

Both camps will be near the Mt. Rose trailhead of the TRT, at the top of Highway 431. Volunteers of all ages and skill levels are welcome to attend.

The TRTA’s backcountry camps are a family friendly way to work on the trail and enjoy the Tahoe outdoor lifestyle. Food will be provided, but in order to offset this cost the camp is $30 for the two-day August camp and $40 for the three-day September camp.

Families are welcome, and children’s camping equipment is available upon request.

For more information or to register, call Teresa Crimmens at (775) 298.0239.

Volunteers must bring their own camping equipment, and must wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, boots and work gloves; bring sunscreen, bug spray and plenty of water. Check the weather reports and bring additional clothing as necessary. The Tahoe Rim Trail Association will provide hard hats and all trail tools.
