Backpacking: BATONA Trail (2-day trip)

The BATONA (BAck-TO-NAture) Trail is a 53-mile hiking route that weaves through dense pine forest, swampy wetlands, and long-forgotten small towns in the beautiful New Jersey Pine Barrens. On this introductory 2-night backpacking trip, our experienced guides will lead you through a section of the Batona Trail while teaching you some basic backcountry skills and philosophies. Food and gear (tents, sleeping bags, etc.) as well as transportation from campus are included in your registration. Moderate fitness level required. The trail is flat, but you will be carrying heavy backpacks and walking ~9-12 miles per day.

We will meet at the Cook Douglass Recreation Center at 12 PM on April 17th.

REGISTRATION CLOSES ON MARCH 30!  To register and for more information, follow this link:
