We offer thousands of outdoor activities each year for all interests and skill levels. Our goal is to promote safe and environmentally responsible outdoor recreation.
Local Chapter Activities
Our 12 chapters running from Maine to Washington, DC, offer a wide range of local, volunteer-led trips for adults and famlies, as well as the opportunity be part of a vibrant social community.
Destination-Based Programs
AMC Huts and Lodges from Maine to New Jersey serve as outdoor recreation and environmental education centers, offering friendly staff, family-style meals, and both free walk-on and multi-day guided Outdoor Explorations.
Guided Youth Programs
We work with over 40,000 young people each year, offering first-time and more challenging outdoor experiences, while building awareness of the natural world. Our programs range from 5- to 22-day Teen Wilderness Adventures, our A Mountain Classroom program for schools, and our Youth Opportunities Program for at-risk youth in urban areas.
Adventure Travel Worldwide
Our volunteer-led Major Excurions program offer trips throughout North America and worldwide.
Plan Your Own Adventure
Each month, our member magazine AMC Outdoors shares a number of trip ideas in its "Get Out" column. We also publish a full line of hiking, paddling, and multi-sport guides for the Northeast.
