2022-10 Hike – O – Ree

The Hike – O – Ree is a roughly annual campout by the NCAC and it serves as an introduction to Backpacking. Scouts pack and carry all their gear as though it is a backpacking trip, however, they do a day hike and then camp in a large field with the other scouts. This is a great way to try out backpacking for the first time. We had 4 scouts attend this event in 2022. Two of them went on to a NCAC high adventure trip in Wyoming in 2024.
