Why Join? 6 Good Reasons
Outings
Throughout the year the Section offers a program of activities schedules. As well as these schedules activities, there are frequent informal outings organized from Keene Farm or the Ski House which all are welcome to participate in.
Keene Farm
Members have access to Keene Farm, a 105 acre property of woodland and meadow located in the heart of the Adirondacks High Peaks Region. Members are welcome to stay in the cabin or camp in the meadow.
Winter House
During the winter the Club rents a house in a town north of Montreal in the heart of the Laurentides.
The Montage
The section publishes a newsletter twice per yearly. It has accounts of recent adventures and exploits, news and information about upcoming events and camps, the activities/outings schedule and course list.
Skills Development
Training courses, such as rock climbing, telemark skiing, rock rescue, winter mountaineering and wilderness first aid are often offered and generally subsidized by the club.
Socials
As a member you are warmly invited to attend our monthly “socials”. These social evenings are held at local pubs or members' homes. Members gather to enjoy slide show presentations and share stories on recent outdoors adventures. The most popular social event of the year is the section's annual B.B.Q. held at Keene Farm in September with over 120 members and their guests attending. These socials are a great opportunity to meet new people as well as old fiends who all share a common passion for the outdoors.
