Adventurous Young Mazamas (AYM) offers outdoor activities year-round targeted to younger adults in their 20s & 30s and anyone who is young at heart. We're part of the Mazamas, a 501(c)(3) mountaineering nonprofit based in Portland. Follow our activities here and mazamas.org.

We're part of the Mazamas, a 501(c)(3) mountaineering nonprofit based in Portland. Follow our activities here and mazamas.org, where you can find additional activities that may not be advertised through Meetup. We offer adventures including camping, backpacking, cycling, snowshoeing, skiing, and social events that relate to the outdoors.

Our events are alcohol, smoking, and drug free. Pets are only allowed if the leader of has specifically designated the event as pet-friendly.

Leaders are volunteers, and most events are free. We carpool to most outdoor events and expect passengers to contribute to the cost of transportation, permits and any parking passes. Standard Mazamas rate is 15 cents/mile/person, though contributions are at the discretion of drivers.

All AYM leaders have First Aid training and have been vetted by our committee for their skills and experience. Participants must follow the instructions of leaders in order to protect group safety. Leaders reserve the right to only include participants who are adequately prepared, amicable and safe.

Please treat other participants with respect and consideration. Many of our events have more people wishing to participate than we can accommodate. Please only RSVP yes if you are committed to attending.

Meetup provides a platform for people to become friends through shared interests and activities. Part of building trust and friendship starts with using an identifiable profile photo of yourself, so people know who you are and we can find each other - especially when meeting the first time.

This is a group to meet friends for outdoor adventures, not a dating site. To join, others must feel comfortable and safe with you, and your behavior and online communications appropriate. On social media, please follow us on Facebook and Instagram (aympdx) where you can also see many pictures from our events.
