Slide Shows, Workshops, Socials and more. Meet other members, learn, have fun! Smaller gatherings of regional sub-groups, as well as our big annual events - the Annual Dinner, Annual Picnic and Annual Activities Social. Find out more about all these great events on our Social Events page.

Most of our active members participate in our varied schedule of day-hikes. There's something for everyone, through-out the greater Delaware Valley and beyond! If you're new to hiking, read our "getting started" pamphlet, How to Survive in the Wilds of the Delaware Valley: A Guide to Day Hiking With the Delaware Valley Chapter of the Appalachian Mountain Club.

The Backpacking Committee page has helpful information about backpacking, such as a gear checklist, trail food ideas, and backpack buying tips.

Chapter bike rides are at a moderate pace, often on local rail-trails and tow-paths.

The chapter has a very active paddling schedule, featuring both canoe and kayak trips. The Paddling Committee maintains a paddling website, with the paddling schedule and photo albums of recent paddling trips.

See our Trails Committee page for details about our on-going trailwork activities. The Trails Committee organizes trailwork sessions to maintain our section of the AT, and trails in other parks in the region, and provides occasional training courses in trail maintenance skills.

The Young Members Committee organizes events and activities geared toward the "20 to 40-ish" crowd.

We have a very active group of younger members who run a variety of trips and activities that may be of particular interest to our young (or young-at-heart) members. These outings are not age-restricted - anyone is welcome.
