Notch Your Ordinary Weekend

Taken by Tony Ng

Wrap up the winter with us

Do you like hiking? Do you like hanging out with friends by a fireplace, drinking hot cocoa, eating good food? Then this is the weekend hiking trip for you!

We will be offering hiking at various levels both Saturday and Sunday. If you have winter appropriate hiking gear you are welcome to join us (options to rent snowshoes/ winter hiking boots).

We have rented out the entire Notch Hostel which includes a common room, little library (with information about the area, games, and books about hikes and hiking), dining room, bed with clean bedding in the shared bunk room, full kitchen, plus shower rooms and toilets. Delicious meals will be provided and are served family style in a warm, social atmosphere.

No car? no worries – leaders will help organize carpools. Anyone young at heart is welcome and encouraged to join us on this trip.
