Class location
The BMC will be held in Sapangdaku / Babag Mountains Cebu which will require a 1-2hours of hiking with loaded backpacks. We will be camping for 2Days & 1Night. Students/participants shall be required to bring their own camping gear, pack/prepare their own food, and hydration needs. A water-source will be available at camp (natural spring). Heads up, it will be a wild camping experience with less amenities since we want our students to experience a real-life tropical wilderness camp setting. At times you will be crossing streams and each participants are required to wear shoes/boots at all times when moving.
