Events to Explore and Enjoy

Sierra Club offers a variety of outdoor experiences for both members and non-members. Trips include paddling, biking, hiking, camping, and other fun activities. We also have a special program for young people from marginalized backgrounds called Inspiring Connections Outdoors.  All trips have experienced, trained, certified leaders and participants are required to sign waivers. 

This calendar shows only fun events sponsored by our Suwannee St. Johns Group, and fun events sponsored by other Sierra Club Groups in other counties of northern Florida. To see a calendar of only SSJ events (including committee meetings), see the calendar on our home page. Also check out our MeetUp group, which sometimes includes events not listed here.
