Gambrills, MD

Hiking & Outdoors Club
**About Hiking & Outdoors Club.** This is a group for: hiking, outdoor and social activities for men and women, young and old, to enjoy the beauty of God's creation and spend time together in fellowship. We have a hiking, outdoors or social event roughly bimonthly. Our first event was held in October 2023 (a hike at Patapsco Valley State Park near Ellicott City, Maryland). Any attendee under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a family member who is 18 or older. We typically hike trails in the Central Maryland area and enjoy outdoor and social activities. This group is run by the Men's Fraternity at Faith Community Church in Gambrills, Maryland. **Schedule:** We intend to have hikes or other social events bimonthly on the last Saturday of March, May, July and September. Unless otherwise noted, each event will begin at 11am. We may have an event on the first weekend in November - potentially a hike of Old Rag Mountain in Virginia. This would be a day-long, very difficult hike - so we're still discussing this possibility. **Note: all hikes are rain or shine.** **Recon Hikes:** A few weeks before each published hike we typically do a "recon hike" (which is not published) to check out the difficulty of the trail, the parking available, etc. If you'd like to help with recon hikes, please let Charles know at: charles.barksdale@gmail.com or (443) 400-9130. **About Faith Community Church (FCC).** FCC is located at 1306 Riedel Road, Gambrills, Maryland 21054.
