Free for Veterans: Learn How to use POLES for Hiking & Outdoor Exercise
Sierra Club Military Outdoors special program provides training for Veterans and their family members.

Please read the entire description before registering. 

This session is for all level HIKERS.  If you have mobility challenges, please consider the POLE Walking for Maintaining Mobility class as a better way to start with poles.

This session: 
Learn individualized, anatomically optimal, strategies for enhancing performance and confidence on the trail. Uphill: Improve power, endurance, posture and spine function. Downhill: Develop skills for feeling safer and preserving joints – Save your knees! 

Short beautiful coastal practice hike included.
  Whale sightings not guaranteed. :-)
Variety of Top Quality Poles Provided (or bring and use your own, but only if they are adjustable, in good working order, you know how to use the straps and how to adjust them).

Who can benefit from learning these skills?  Hikers of all levels, from beginner to experienced.

The triple win of poles is that (1) you’re able to engage your whole body while hiking, (2) you can connect with your buddies while (3) enjoying the beautiful outdoors. 

REGISTRATION REQUIRED, CLASS SIZE LIMITED.  Because of the limited class size, please only reserve a spot if you truly intend to come.  If you have to cancel, please advise the leader so another veteran can benefit from this training.

An info letter will be sent to all registered participants a week or so before the training so you can prepare.   Meet location in Pacifica will be included in this letter, as well as what to bring/wear and how to prepare for this session.
