What we’re about
### 🥾 Welcome to Our Purpose-Driven Hiking Club
### We host private, curated hikes, walks, and adventures led by trained trail leaders — built for verified members only. Events are shaped around small groups (3–12 participants), with options for couples, families (including kids), seniors, and travelers in the club. One-on-one hikes are also available by request for members needing private pacing, mentoring, or recovery support.
📍This is a private club — 🛑not a public RSVP group. All hikes or walks adventures etc. are arranged directly through message-based coordination and an attendance request form not RSVP's.
No crowds. No party scenes. No swiping. Just structure, peace, and connection — rooted in safety and respect for nature.

### 📌 How It Works:
We don’t post public RSVP events. Every walk, hike, adventure etc., or event is customized and pre-arranged. We don’t use RSVPs. All coordination runs through our Universal Request Form.
👉 https://forms.gle/quqELunKvDgaCUWg7
Use the form to request or offer:
- 🚗 Carpool seats or a pickup point
- 🛏 Lodging or shared cabin options
- 🥾 Hikes, training, or adventure ideas
- ⚙️ Gear support, safety help, or co‑hosting
- ✍️ And anything else
We shape events around the members who show up and been identified and verified— not a fixed calendar or RSVP's.
