When will GALS MI be held?
GALS MI will take place July 25 to August 8, 2026. Is GALS MI free? Yes, GALS MI is free for all participants. What is backpacking? Backpacking is hiking with all the gear that you need to camp on your own back. We will share the load between all of us. Do I need previous hiking or backpacking experience? No previous hiking or backpacking experience is necessary. We will teach you all the skills that you need. You just need to come with a willingness to learn the outdoor skills. What if I don't have any backpacking gear? Don't let this stop you from applying. We can lend you all the gear that you'll need for GALS so that you don't need to buy anything. How can I train for the physical challenges of GALS? You should try to engage in cardio exercises about 3 times a week for the few months leading up to GALS. We suggest running, biking, hiking, or long walks around your neighborhood. How many students are on each trip? No more than 12. This is a really nice size for everyone to get to know one another and ensure that everyone has a fulfilling experience. |
