Events

Have you thought about backpacking, but don’t know where to start? Are you interested in backpacking, but feel intimidated about going with seasoned backpackers? Well, the Western Michigan Chapter has a trip for you, geared toward first-time backpackers.

There will be two informational opportunities, and you should attend at least one of them. Both events will take place at the Sparta Library.

March 24, 6:00pm: Katy Shelton and Nancy DeJong will be at the Sparta Library speaking about hiking and backpacking.

April 15, 6:00pm: Barb Cazier and Nancy DeJong will host an orientation for those planning to go on the first-time backpacking trip.

The backpacking trip will take place from May 30 at 2:30pm to May 31 about 12:00pm on the NCT in Newaygo County. We’ll hike between three and four miles both days.
