Birth Control Pills to Prevent Period

I am currently on Ortho Tri Cyclen and I have a seven day backpacking/camping trip planned right when I am supposed to get my period. I have heard that taking the pills consecutively (starting the next pack immediately after the active pills are done in the first pack) will prevent my period for that month. I want to know if that is true and if so what are the risks associated with doing it just once?

Thanks.
