Sierra Club Outings / Military Family Outdoor Listening Sessions

The Sierra Club will be hosting three different listening sessions to explore our existing Sierra Club outings programs (Inner city, Local and National Outings) and evaluate how we can make Sierra Club Outings an engaging and welcoming place for members of the military and veteran communities. We want to know how to get them hooked on the outdoors and how to best help them become volunteers and leaders for Sierra Club Outings groups.

• Session 1: Feb 17-19, 2011 Islandwood, near Seattle

• Session 2: Mar 16-18, Washington DC, final location TBD

• Session 3: Apr 13-15, YMCA of the Rockies, Wind River Lodge, Estes Park, CO (specifically for spouses and caregivers)

Each weekend will bring together 10 military service members, veterans, spouses, or caregivers together with 10 Sierra Club outings and partners leaders from Friday night dinner to Sunday at lunch. All of participants’ expenses, lodging, food, activities, and training, will be covered by the Sierra Club as will the ferry ride for IslandWood. Transportation, except in extreme circumstances, will be the responsibility of the participant.
