Backcountry Tips:
Headed up to colder altitudes? Try this simple trick to keep your Nalgene bottle from freezing shut overnight. Instead of storing the bottle right-side up, turn it on its head for the night. Even if the water turns to solid ice you’ll be able to screw the cap off easily in the morning. No need to take off your mittens for even a moment!



Volunteer Options
Lead a Training Hike:
(Contact Cliff)
Help lead a Climbing For Kids training hike. Involves meeting people at the trail and hiking!
Where: anywhere there’s a great trail
When: weekends

Gear Help:
(Contact Chelsea)
Our gear is used by hundreds of kids each year! Help in the equipment room repairing sleeping bags and tents, wiping down tarps and packs, sorting through boots... the list goes on.
Where: BAWT Gear Room
When: flexible

If neither of these appeal to you, check out our other opportunities here.
