Optimizing Outdoor Opportunities for Youth


LifeOutdoors created and hosts the website Outdoorclubs.org or TREE, (Teens Reconnecting to Earth Experiences also known as Teens Restoring Earth's Environments), to connect a network of "Branches" or outdoor/ecology/earth/environmental clubs at K-12 public and private schools.  TREE is committed to get everyone outdoors for fun, adventure and community service, regardless of their abilities or disabilities. Outdoor experts help outdoor novices gain experience and confidence. TREE provides a multitude of activities and field trips for its members. Please join us as we get up, branch out and reconnect with nature.

Hiking & Backpacking Clubs.com   A club is a great way to get introduced to hiking. As a club member, you will benefit from the experience of the group. The group will teach you the best local areas to go to and provide you with many tips. A club is also a terrific way to meet new hiking buddies (important when your significant other is more of a stay-at-home type or when you have just relocated).  Clubs can have distinct personalities — some are laid back, some are more aggressive, some are younger, some are older — so check around for one that seems right for you. Also, I have to say that Hiking and Backpacking.com does not recommend or endorse any particular club on this list, we are merely listing them here for your convenience. Be careful in all aspects of your hike.
