Prairie Club of Chicagoland Activities Group

Lombard, IL

The Prairie Club of Chicago would like to invite members of the public to join us on some of our outdoor activities. The Prairie Club was founded in 1908. The Club began by organizing hikes into the country as a way for people to escape the crowded urban environment of Chicago and enjoy nature in and around the city. Outdoor activities and conservation have been core values for the Prairie Club since its inception. The Prairie Club played a prominent role in the establishment of the Cook County Forest Preserve system, the Indiana Dunes State Park, and the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. In addition to weekend hiking, we will offer opportunities for canoeing/kayaking, and bicycling events during the year.

"Great Outdoors Group"

West Chicago, IL

Have you ever thought about what you would do if you become lost while on a day hike? How about if you injured yourself miles from civilization and were unable to move? Then, all too quickly dusk approaches and the realization that you will be spending the night in the wilderness begins to sets in. Being prepared for this type of situation and having a well-established plan could mean the difference between life and death. That is why at the “Great Outdoors and Survival”, our chief aim is to help people build their knowledge of wilderness survival skills. Upon learning these skills members will understand how to: become self-sufficient in the wilderness, formulate a concrete plan to getting rescued safely when lost or injured and build outdoor leadership/confidence skills.

The “Great Outdoors and Survival” strongly believe a subject must be mastered before it can be taught; therefore, our teaching methods have been developed through years of education, practice, experiences, and dedication of our instructors and we structure our lesson around a fundamental survival principle commonly known as the Rule’s of 3.

So what are the Rules of 3?

The rule’s of 3 are the guidelines that state you cannot survive more than:

-3 minutes without air

-3 Hours without shelter or proper clothing

-3 days without water

-3 weeks without food

Classes we host:

-Wilderness Survival Kits

-Shelter Building

-Wild Edible Plants

-Tracking

-Fire Starting

-Water Purification

-Land Navigation

And much much more…

Things to expect from this group are dinner dates, plus size shopping/clothing swaps, walk and talks (not a weight loss group-but activity is good for the soul), board game nights, and whatever the hell else we want to do. If you're nervous or shy I encourage you to fight that and please come meet us!

seeks to bring Biblically-adherent Chicago-area Christian Singles together for the purpose of genuine fellowship as brothers and sisters in Christ. Our activities range from sporting events, concerts, Bible studies, plays, dinners, movies, hikes, etc. along with serving opportunities. Our S.A.L.T. meet-up group is unique because we not only seek to build strong community with each other, but we also seek to be salt and light to the singles around us who do not yet know the Lord. As such, we seek to honor God in all of our activities and interactions with each other and with guests who have been invited to our events in an effort to encourage one another, build new friendships, and reflect the love of our Heavenly Father to others.

If you're living a Christ-centered lifestyle and are looking to meet and build friendships with committed single Christians in the Chicago area, then you should definitely consider checking us out!
