The purpose for the Outdoor Club is to provide opportunities and get people interested in the outdoors; to educate our members in outdoor and conservation skills that will stay with them long after the excursions have ended; to share the beauty of the natural world around us and to feel the satisfaction that comes after outdoor activities in the great Pacific Northwest. We will try to have one out
ing a month during each quarter. The outings may consist of pleasure activities where members can share skills such as: fishing, clamming, oystering, hiking, skiing, camping, white water rafting, kayaking/canoeing, bicycling, climbing, berry or mushroom gathering. The outings can also provide community service such as: trail restoration, tree planting, charity walks, or salmon steward volunteering. A brief outline of officers’ duties follows:
