Most members join their first Sierra Club outing close to home, participating in a group or chapter outing that they have read about in a Club newsletter. Their variety ranges as widely as the interests and creativity of Club members. Outings help to encourage members' involvement in the Club's conservation work by giving them a concrete connection to natural wonders that are at risk. Chapter and group outings are ways in which members can be involved in introducing others to the world's wild places, in hopes that today's enjoyment may lead to tomorrow's understanding and the future's environmentally aware citizens. Local Outings Online Local chapter and group outings are published in the chapter's newsletter, which Sierra Club members automatically receive for their chapter.
Some larger chapters publish their outings in a special schedule issued every few months.
Local chapter and group outings are led by Sierra Club volunteers. No fees are charged for most outings, except for incidental expenses. Other outings are conducted as fundraisers and are so advertised. Visit Sierra Club Chapters online for more information about your Chapter's outings. This is also useful for travelers to the U.S. or Canada who want to participate in local outings in the area.
