The Chicago Backpackers is a club for those who share an enthusiasm for backpacking. The club helps introduce people who are new to backpacking to the sport, organize trips for members, and encourage networking amongst backpackers to help facilitate further enjoyment of the sport. The primary focus of the group is backpacking, which is where one hikes self sustained for consecutive days in a wilderness area carrying all necessary supplies in a backpack.
