We’ve done this a few times – here’s our Packing List
Ages 16-18
Just like life, the older you get, the harder the challenges can be. The same is true for HIKE 2 as compared to HIKE 1. Our goal as chiefs is to challenge you to become responsible men even in your teen years not waiting until you’re out of school or have moved out on your own to become men. The same truth for HIKE 1 is still true for HIKE 2 your experience will be determined by your ATTITUDE!
HIKE 2 is similar to HIKE 1, though there are a few significant differences. The most notable changes are:
– Two days longer
– More miles hiked per day
– Heavier backpack
– A more rugged trail
You do not have to go on HIKE 1 in order to go on HIKE 2!
