Go Clubbing! - Join The Appalachian Mountain Club

Hello adventurers & thrill seekers! I'm telling you to get out & stay out!.... on a wilderness adventure that is. The best way to get started is to go clubbing...join the Appalachian Mountain Club!

The AMC is one of the oldest and largest conservation & outdoor recreation organizations in the U.S. Since 1876 the Appalachian Mountain Club has been promoting the protection, enjoyment and wise use of the mountains, rivers and trails of the Northeast outdoors. If you live in the NY city area you are in luck because the local NY - NJ Chapter is one of the most active with 13,000 members and over 2000 outdoor recreational activities per year!

Fun activities include: backpacking, biking, mountain biking, in-line skating, canoeing & kayaking,rock climbing, conservation & all levels of hiking, sailing, cross country and down-hill skiing, co-ed softball. The club provides the chance to learn a fun new outdoor sport, meet new friends and challenge yourself in a safe, group setting. There are special group recreation events for young members ( under 30 years), singles & sociables. The club owns & maintains a series of wilderness huts in the White Mountains of New Hampshire for overnight stays. If you are a beach bum spend summer weekends or day trips at the AMC Fire Island Cabin, in Long Island or at a new facility in Sandy Hook, NJ. For cabin camping and wilderness training programs the Mohican Outdoor Center, in NW NJ is the place. A great way to meet interesting & fun people with a common interest in outdoor adventure, enjoying nd protecting our environment.

So, get out and stay out!!!... on a backpacking or outdoor adventure. Go clubbing with the AMC! Check out the New York - New Jersey Chapter web-site for info on how to join! http://www.amc-ny.org/
