Welcome to

WELCOME TO BASECAMP

The kit is only part of it.

Learn how to use it. Learn how to move through the outdoors. Build the confidence to go further.

GET OUTSIDE. GET SKILLED. GO FURTHER.

AEC was built around a simple idea:

Life is better outside.

But getting outside can feel daunting.

What do I wear?
What do I carry?
What happens if the weather turns?
How do I navigate?
Can I actually tackle that mountain?

Basecamp is where you start finding out.

Practical experiences designed to help you learn, explore and build confidence outdoors — with people who want to get outside too.

A series of practical outdoor sessions designed for people who want to learn by doing.

From your first winter hike to navigating the hills, understanding your layering system and eventually tackling bigger objectives.

No classroom. No sitting around listening to someone talk for six hours.

We learn outside.
