Hulbert Outdoor Center: Voyageurs Youth Trips

Backpacking

Backpacking is one of the best ways to experience the natural environment and this summer Voyageurs is travelling to two amazing locations: the High Peaks of the Adirondacks and the 100-Mile Wilderness of the Appalachian Trail.  Both locations offer spectacular mountain vistas and breathtaking waterfalls.

With a maximum of 10 campers and 2 counselors, we will hike between 4 and 8 miles each day while carrying everything we need for the entire group in our backpacks.  Campers can expect to carry their own personal gear as well as some group equipment (tents, food, etc).  Backpacks will weigh between 30 and 50 lbs.  Comfortable, sturdy hiking boots should be worn.
