Outings

The Schenectady Chapter has extensive outside activities of varying difficulty every weekend. Numerous trips are in the Adirondack and Catskill Mountains. Most are day trips, such as hikes, with some all weekend. In season we offer strong programs for cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and white water enthusiasts. We also have backpack trips, flat water canoe trips, and bicycle trips.

All ages are welcome, although youngsters generally come on outings with an adult. Some trips are noted as suited for small children. The chapter has snowshoes, canoe, and a canoe carrier that can be used on chapter outings (some with a small fee).

Upcoming Chapter Events

Upcoming outings are also listed in the latest issue of The Lookout (our newsletter).
