All across New York State, members of the Adirondack Mountain Club work together to conserve natural places, help others discover nature, and get outdoors to play. The Genesee Valley Chapter welcomes members throughout the Rochester metropolitan area and the surrounding five-county area of upstate New York.
Membership
We currently have members in about 1,200 households. Our members are young and not-so-young, singles and families, and come from all walks of life. Whether you choose to attend one of our monthly programs, spend a few hours on the trail with one of our leaders, or explore the local waterways with other paddlers, there are as many ways to be involved as there are members. Our Young Members group coordinates day and weekend trips and other activities that appeal especially to outdoor enthusiasts in their 20s, and 30s and 40s. We welcome members with a wide range of experience and physical capabilities. Click here to learn more about membership.
Outings and Events
The members of the Genesee Valley Chapter maintain an active schedule of outings and trips—hiking, paddling, and more. On any given weekend, you may find us backpacking, bicycling, skiing, snowshoeing, canoeing, kayaking, or rafting. Annual events such as our Outdoor Expo and trips to the Adirondacks dot the calendar with more opportunities to get outdoors together and share an adventure with friends old and new.
Monthly Meetings
Our monthly meetings include a program that is both entertaining and informative. As a bonus, our meetings are generally preceded by an educational workshop. We meet on the second Wednesday of each month, from September through June. Click here to learn more about upcoming programs.
