Why is this called the President’s Hike? This hike is a once-a-year occurrence where Tabor’s President spends time with students enjoying nature and growing community. It is intended to be a relaxed and rejuvenating time around actively hiking.

 

When: Friday, 14 October - Sunday, 16 October 2022. Depart at 2pm from Tabor Millswood

Transportation: Students to arrange their own transport or to carpool

Duration: Distance covered over 2½ days

Where: Drive to Cobbler Hill campground, hike to Tapanappa campground and hike back to Cobbler Hill campground

Accommodation: Friday and Saturday night in tents

Fitness requirements:  A moderate degree of fitness is required as you will be hiking approximately 13km a day with a backpack. You really don’t need to be a top fit athlete to enjoy this. We are not out to break any records but rather to enjoy a wonderful experience together. That said, Tabor does withhold the right to decline participation if there is reasonable doubt about your physical health and safety in doing such a hike.

What to bring: Students to bring their own backpack, camping gear, food and cooking equipment. If necessary, assistance can be provided to those needing any camping equipment. A detailed hiking gear list can be found here.
