The KTA fall hiking weekend will be based out of the Rhodes Grove Camp and Conference Center that was founded in 1917, situated on 35 acres surrounded by the beautiful farmland of the Cumberland Valley just south of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. The Grove is a great place of retreat where the fun never stops! Our activities are exciting, food is fantastic. The main conference building contains our dining services, hotel-style rooms, office suite, and multiple meeting rooms, all under one roof! This modern facility also contains a favorite spot for guests – our main reception lobby with comfy couches, a stone fireplace, and easy access to all locations in the building.
Hikes during the weekend will primarily be centered around two nearby state parks: Caledonia and Cowans Gap. Caledonia State Park in intersected by the Appalachian Trail and Cowans Gap by both the Tuscarora and Standing stone Trails.
