Outdoors Club

Description

The °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±Ô¤²â Outdoors Club consists of a fun group of people who love spending time in the outdoors! The club runs activities for all levels of outdoors enthusiasts whether it be a scenic stroll on hiking trails or overnight backpacking adventures. Throughout the year, we offer hiking, camping, skiing, snowshoeing, and more! In the fall, winter, and spring, the clubs offers a mix of both overnight and day trip adventures to appeal to a wide variety of members! Your membership fee allows you to participate in trips and borrow equipment during our activities (eg. tents, hiking packs, sleeping bags, stoves, first aid kits, etc.). Each trip will have a set trip fee, which will be paid by those attending the trip to cover costs like trip activities, campsite rentals, and bus transportation where applicable. Registration for each trip will be announced throughout the year and trip spots are obtained on a first-come-first-served basis.

About the President

Jennifer is incredibly excited to lead the Club for the 2024-2025 season. Jennifer’s passion for the outdoors was ignited by camping trips with her family growing up and early involvement in Girl Guides Canada. Jennifer’s favourite outdoor activities include tent camping, hiking, kayaking, and rock climbing. She’s honored to provide the opportunity for people to reconnect with nature, experience the beauty Ontario has to offer, and enjoy unique quality time with a great group of people.
