Description

KHC leaders organize backpacking opportunities for members. A backpacking trip is more complex than a day hike – reservations, carpooling, itineraries, accommodations, camping, backpack requirements, day trips, schedules, contingencies, and so on. Organizers make a big commitment and need to get the details organized and the group.

No backpacking trip fits all levels of fitness, interest, and experience, so the leader will narrow it down or find a way to break into groups (this is not easy and requires more leaders, which is not always possible).

For some backpacking trips, the leader will ask for expressions of interest. This allows members and the leader to discuss the trip. For other trips, the leader may just post it like a regular event.

All backpacking trips require dialogue to work out the details and expectations.
