Each night since our lives have been upended by COVID-19 and its subsequent stay-at-home orders, BACKPACKER has hosted an evening campfire on Facebook Live to provide our community with a peaceful moment and a break from the stress. We’ve added to that with live music and Bob Ross style paint-alongs on our Instagram feed. It’s proven both popular and heartwarming, and we wanted to expand on this by hosting a livestreamed, day-long festival.

We’re calling it the Camp-In, and it’ll have guided yoga and mountain-fitness sessions, art, gear and cooking demos, readings by authors, trivia, live music, and a backcountry bartending demo courtesy of Yellowstone Bourbon. And yes, you’re encouraged to “Camp In” with us and hashtag your living room, porch, or backyard campsite with #BackpackerCampIn to be entered in a photo contest for the sweetest Camp In set up.
