Upcoming Trips & Events

CMC is an all-volunteer club that strives to create a relaxed environment for people to experience the outdoors together and come together as a community. Members help run the club and can volunteer to lead trips and help out with club events.

CMC members lead a wide variety of activities, such as camping, cycling, hiking, kayaking, skiing, walking, and other outdoor and educational activities. CMC events are open to members and non-members, and activities range anywhere from an easy garden walk to a strenuous backpacking trip. We welcome people of all abilities and backgrounds, so there's no need to feel intimidated if you're new to an activity.  Of course, be mindful of your physical abilities as they relate to a particular activity.
CMC hosts a series of club sponsored events throughout the year. The events are a way of bringing club members together and getting to know one another, at the same time enjoying the outdoors. In Spring, the club hosts Spring Activity Day and Spring Camping Jamboree Weekend. In Summer, the club hosts another Jamboree and a beach day party, and in Fall, the club hosts a Fall Camping Jamboree and Fall Activities Day. In late fall, the club holds its Annual Meeting. Members are encouraged to lend a hand to help make each event successful.
