Trip Planning - Overnight Events

Do you have ideas for camping trips and outings? Have you discovered a great adventure or a hidden gem? 

Catered dinner provided.

In addition to overnight trips, we are also interested in ideas for day activities such as hikes,  educational outings, tours, winter events, kayaking, backpacking,  4x4 outings, volunteer work projects, and any activity that would be of interest to the group.

Activities Other Than Hiking or Camping

• Bird-watching at your favorite wetland

• Movie night with an environmental focus

• Plan a creative celebration of the equinox or solstice

• Organize a docent-led tour of museum or park

• Take a docent tour and then lead a similar one yourself for Great Outdoors

• Attend a conservation lecture with other members

• Organize a service trip to repair or build trails or weed out exotic plants

• Set up a potluck brunch organized around a letter-writing campaign

• Photography hike and follow-up potluck to review photos

• Tour city dump or county watershed

• Tour a sewage treatment plant

• Tour little known public parks or open space

• Bicycle ride

• Mountain biking

• Old-fashioned potluck picnic

• Special events or exhibits

• Ride horses

• Planetarium or museum or zoo visit on free day

• Anything that broadens our awareness of our environment is a valid outing

We are also looking for speakers and programs for our monthly meetings and welcome your suggestions.

FYI, we'll be taking the results of this meeting with us to the October all-chapter Great Outdoors planning conference, where we'll match up calendars with the other chapters and finalize the 2024 trips for all 5 chapters.
