This Saturday, 25 February 2006, we will start our conditioning hikes in preparation for the Summer Camp High Adventure.  We will meet at 7:00 am at Commonwealth Elementary and hike for approximately 2 hours.  As we get started on the conditioning hikes, we will target around 4 miles, and eventually build up as we get closer to summer camp.  We have decided to start the hike at 7:00 since it is still early in the year, and we will not have to worry about it getting hot yet.  Eventually, we will probably have to start a little earlier as our hikes increase in length, and it starts to get warmer.

Remember to bring water and appropriate clothing.  Since we will not be hiking yet with backpacks, at this stage it is critical that you have the hiking boots that you plan on using at Summer Camp.  If you have to buy new boots, it is even more critical that you use them as soon as possible in order for them to be ready for Summer Camp.
