Every year, Pathfinders & Nomads host a Kick-Off Trip which serves as a try-out for prospective new members and a chance for all returning members to get reacquainted with one another over a weekend of rock climbing and hiking. We will have a couple groups each day going out to various crags and hikes, camping  in Leavenworth at Chatter Creek campsite with a communal meal, all led by adult chaperones/Mountaineers staff and volunteers. 

This trip is community focused and should give anyone new to Pathfinders & Nomads a good idea of what our culture is like. Interested members need not pay/commit to the club before attending this trip, and will be invited to make their decision to join or not after this trip. 

If you'd like to borrow non-climbing gear, please submit your request to the gear library.
