Über uns
What we are:
Michigan Adventurers Club is a 501(c)4 non-profit whose mission is to enhance health and build friendships through our adventures together while exploring nature and discovering interesting places.
Meet with local outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy the wonderful state of Michigan! Activities include (though are not limited to) hiking, camping, kayaking, canoeing, yoga, rock climbing, biking, cross country skiing, skating, and many other adventures.
This group welcomes all. As we have grown, we have gained many members, organizers, friends and memories! If you enjoy the activities listed here, bring your experience and enthusiasm and come join us for an awesome adventure!
What we are not:
A political / opinion / argument platform. Friendly 2 way conversations are great, but not one sided domineering of conversations and/or ranting.
A dating site - do not join and start messaging someone you've never met in person and had conversations with. If they aren't receptive or responsive, leave them alone. Members can mutually build relationships, starting at events.
Members that do either of the above are banned
We look forward to meeting you at our events.
If you have any questions or concerns, please be sure to contact the Organizer/Co-Organizers and we will be happy to address them for you. Thanks and hope to see you on an adventure soon!
