New Year's Challenge

SSVC's December: Winter Hike Challenge Winner
Diana is the winner of our toboggan for the December Winter Hike Challenge. Diana joined us on our AT-Pocosin hike on December 22.  Great way to start winter!!

Our next drawing will be at the end of January.  
All you need to do is join us for a hike or walkabout this month to enter.  We will have one winner each month through March and a grand prize winner at the end of winter.

​Hope to see everyone on the trail.

​PATC 2024 Challenge
The PATC is having a hiking challenge for 2024.  The purpose of this challenge is to encourage our members to volunteer for the Club as well as to get outdoors and hike. This is also a terrific opportunity to cross some of those New Year’s resolutions off your list!  If you joined us or did your own hike on New Year's Day, you already have one hike checked off. 

How to Complete the Challenge
In order to complete the challenge, you must complete 25 hikes from the listed hikes and volunteer 50 hours in any capacity for the Club. 

Hikes Aspect
There are 52 hikes listed in the challenge. We have listed twenty (20) parks or trails that are in our geographical areas, as well as six (6) specific days to hike and twenty six(26) “other hikes”. You must choose 25 of the 52 hikes to listed to complete the challenge.
Volunteer Aspect:
You can volunteer 50 hours with the Club in any capacity.

There will be one (1) Grand Prize Winner, randomly selected to receive a $50.00 gift card from REI Co-op and one of our popular PATC T-shirts!
