4 PM | Beta Talk w/ Jake & Monty
Battling fierce head winds and sprawling, tempestuous lakes, Jake & Monty - Basecamp's first Adventure Scholarship recipient - pushed their physical limits on a high-octane canoe trek across Northern Canada this summer. Up against a strict timeline, they relied on endurance and tactical navigation to power through treacherous, open-water crossings. Join us for their trip recap, featuring raw footage and great stories from this high-stakes race against time and nature.
5:30 PM | Live music
Where to park
Parking is available in the Rock Mill lot, along Carroll Street, and overflow parking in a gravel lot down Carroll past the apartments.
