Backpacking Section (BPX) - 'Tents and Tastes'

We’re shaking things up for this year’s BPX Member Summit — and yes, that means we’re ditching the PowerPoints and heading OUTSIDE where we belong. Rain or Shine!

🏕️ Tour of Tents
A handful of BPX Members will show off their dialed-in camping systems — from ultralight ninja setups to comfy campground castles. You’ll get to peek inside, ask questions, and steal their best ideas. Lightweight, regular, full-glamp… it’s all fair game.

🔥 Elevate Your Meals Workshop
Then we turn up the heat with Chef Corso, who’ll share fast, easy, ridiculously tasty recipes to level up your outdoor eats. Less fuss. More flavor. Zero sad trail meals.

Pick up your 2026 BPX Trips Catalog, enjoy some light refreshments, and connect with fellow BPX Members and BPX Trip Leaders.
