Columbia Hike Society proudly announces the successful launch of its inaugural adventure trip on March 5-6, 2024, at Mt. Batulao. This all-women’s excursion, featuring a Soulful Meditation Journey led by Stephanie Zubiri at The Park, Silang, aimed to celebrate Women’s Month while inaugurating the Columbia Hike Society.
The event welcomed participants to a rejuvenating spa and a two-day glamping experience at The Park, Silang. Participants were accommodated overnight at the The Park, where they experienced various luxurious room options, ranging from glamping tents to rooms featuring exclusive pools and jacuzzis, ensuring a relaxing stay for all.
“We organized this adventure trip with the vision of empowering women and fostering a sense of community,” said Katherine Quan, Brand Executive at Columbia. “Our aim was to create an inclusive space where women could challenge themselves, connect with nature, and inspire one another.”
The adventure trip attracted notable personalities, including Hannah Pangalinan, Sea Games Gold Medalist Marites Nokyao, OCR athlete Geneive Dinoy, musicians Leanne and Naara, Zsaris, Miss Universe Philippines 2022 Katrina Llegado, former beauty queen Asha Guttierez, influencer Sandy RIccio and prominent outdoor influencers from When in Manila.
As part of the event, Columbia Hike Society partnered with Power Mac Center, offering four Apple Watches to participants who completed the Close the Rings Challenge first. Locally served as the official hydration partner, ensuring participants remained hydrated and energized throughout the two active days.
“We extend our sincere gratitude to our sponsors, including The Park, Silang, Power Mac Center, Locally, Laiya Gourmet Catering, Nalgene, Sea to Summit, and Bee Choo Origin, for their invaluable support,” stated Phercie Galero, Marketing Executive at Columbia.
The primary objective of the adventure trip was to inaugurate Columbia Hike Society as a community space and source of inspiration for the new generation of hikers. This marks the beginning of a series of hikes organized by Columbia Hike Society, with exciting updates and adventures to come.
