What we’re about
The Sierra Club is America’s largest and most influential environmental organization. Explore, enjoy and protect the planet with us.
The Portland/Vancouver Sierra Club Outings & Events Meetup has two goals.
- We offer local outings led by Sierra Club Outings Leaders.
- We announce and promote other Sierra Club events and activities, including meetings, presentations, and occasionally an event from an allied organization.
Outings Leaders are typically Sierra Club volunteers, and the range of outings is as diverse as all of our leaders’ interests: hiking, backpacking, biking, and kayaking for example. Each Outings Leader has a passion for the outdoors and a willingness to share their passion with others. Regardless of your level of experience, you may choose from a variety of outings that reflect the diversity of our Leaders’ interests.
We welcome Sierra Club members and non-members in the greater Portland and Vancouver area to join us. If you are interested in Sierra Club Membership, please join us. We’d love to have you!
We invite you to VOLUNTEER with the Sierra Club.
Whether your interest is in activism/conservation, sustainability, hikes, outings, singles events, web design, political efforts, education & outreach, or public relations, we need your energy, ideas, and enthusiasm!

See all- Ochoco Forest CampoutNeeds location
The stillness of a ponderosa hillside, piney forest scents, a nearby creek’s gurgles and Lookout Mountain, the shining infinity of a star-filled nighttime dark sky—these await you at the Ochoco Campout. Isn’t it time to recharge winter’s Nature deficit?
Camp in the heart of the Ochoco National Forest. Hike, paddle on Walton Lake, or just relax and take it all in. Potluck dinner at the Pavilion’s picnic tables (photo), with grilled salmon burgers and your dishes. Then gather around the campfire to share stories and reflections on your day. Well-behaved/controlled dogs are welcome.
Bring a Happy Hour nibble for Monday afternoon and a potluck dish to share Monday evening, your beverages and dishware/utensils; please no disposables. If you'd like to help check-in or potluck setup/cleanup, let us know--thank you kindly!
SUGGESTED DONATION: $20/person for the weekend to cover campground, food, equipment and expenses. Mail check to Juniper Group Sierra Club to us at Environmental Center, 16 NW Kansas, Bend 97703. Children under 18 free.
