What we’re about
Join Outdoors Club around the New York City area. Visit interesting places and meet new people. Some activities are easy, and others difficult. Most are easily reached by public transportation.
ARE YOU A MEMBER? Joining this Meetup group does not make you an Outdoors Club member. Non-members pay one-day dues of $5 to attend an Outdoors Club event. By becoming an annual dues paying member, you won't have to pay $5 per event, you'll receive our semi-annual hike schedule in advance, be notified of Member-Only events not posted on Meetup and help pay for Outdoors Club expenses. https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/UA3VEE4S3MESA
RSVP COURTESY: We appreciate you being a considerate Outdoors Club community member. There are often more people wanting to attend than spots available. Sign up only if you intend to show up. If you have to cancel, please change your RSVP as early as possible to allow someone on the waitlist an opportunity attend.
