There are 3 hiking options for different hiking comfort levels. We are shooting to Summit at 11AM. The core route is 4.5 miles and takes about 4 to 5 hours. You may opt for a longer route of 8 miles or go for the chair lift and take the shorter 2.5 mile route. Thus, the starting times will depend on which route you take. If you have questions, please ask. TEAM CA SUBTEAMS: Team CA is broken into subteams. You've probably been contacted by a team leader from one of our roughly 10 or so subteams. You may choose which team you'd like to hike with or just join in. DETAILS ABOUT THE EVENT: A group of big-hearted, high-energy Heart for Africa volunteers have designed a creative and exciting way to raise funds for Project Canaan in Swaziland. It started with the idea of climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, East Africa, and has grown to include climbing in Taiwan, Canada, Kenya, Swaziland, and four states in the United States, with all teams summiting on June 30, 2012. Imagine people reaching to some of the highest points on earth to bring HOPE to a country filled with orphans and vulnerable children? The 2011 Summit 4 HOPE event was a tremendous success! Not only did each team raise a tremendous amount of awareness, but collectively they were able to raise over $100,000! It is amazing what can happen when groups band together under a common vision! The 2012 Summit 4 HOPE event has an even greater goal, and more teams. This year, we want to raise $125,000 for water projects on Project Canaan. As you know, water is life. Without it, we cannot grow the crops we need for the various feeding programs in which we are involved or be able to support the growing number of orphans who now call Project Canaan home. We need your help to build dams, dig wells and bore holes, and install irrigation! On June 30th, please join us as 9 teams from around the globe all summit a mountain (or in the case of Taiwan, one of the world’s tallest buildings) to bring water, and HOPE, to a nation in desperate need of both.
