The annual KTA Spring Hiking Weekend is three days of hiking, camaraderie, and looking ahead to the future of KTA and trails. Each day, participants break into smaller groups and head out on guided hikes, led by local hiking club members who know the trails and keep you on the right path. You can join just for the hikes or stay with us for the whole weekend to enjoy the fellowship and evening programs.

Our base of operations for 2022 is Bongiorno Conference Center, located 6 miles outside of Carlisle. The camp offers hotel style accommodations and private dorms for families and larger groups (3-8). Tenting and RV space are available on request. Enjoy the on-site nature trail, walking path, disc golf course, access to Conodoguinet Creek, playground/sport facilities, and more.
