NiteHike is an annual adventure for registered Scouts and Guides that runs overnight in the Metro Vancouver - Pacific Spirit Regional Park in April.
Participants test their mettle on 20+ fun and skill-testing stations designed and run by Venturers, Rangers, Rovers and Pathfinders spread out on trails throughout the park.
Usually about 800-1000 youth and leaders participate in the event, organized into teams of 4 to 7 people.
The hike runs all night and teams have to be prepared to deal with any weather conditions. That can even include slushy rain!
Participants should bring a water bottle, a cup, and a snack. Hot chocolate and beef / veggie hot dogs are available at some stations on the hike. (see participant info section for more details). There are also a couple of places in the park where you can refill your water bottles.
