Leave No Trace The Center for Outdoor Ethics has compiled 7 principles that teach people how to be responsible outdoors. While REACH participants are not doing a serious backcountry trip they will be camping out along the way and should follow the best practices. Take a look and become familiar with the principles before you arrive at camp. http://www.lnt.org/programs/lnt7/
