Sierra Club Eastern Missouri Group Outings and Activities
Saint Louis, MO
The Sierra Club is the largest and oldest environmental organization in the United States. The Eastern Missouri Group both conducts outings to explore and enjoy the outdoors and we work to ensure a clean and healthy environment and a livable climate for all people. This group is open to anyone who shares these interests and goals. Our outings include day hikes, camping, biking, canoe or kayak excursions, trail maintenance, and stream cleanups including Operation Clean Stream. Our ICO (Inspiring Connection Outdoors) program gives underserved populations the opportunity to get out into nature, learn new skills, and have fun in a safe setting with experienced adult mentors.
We have monthly evening programs at our office in Maplewood which typically have a speaker on some environmental topic and gives members the chance to meet and interact with other Sierrans. The topics range from snakes to stars, from wildlife to wildflowers. There are also announcements of upcoming events, including the chance to squeeze lemons and sell lemonade at our fun lemonade fundraising events.
On our outings, we request a donation of $1.00 per person to help support our programs. Firearms are not allowed on outings. Pets are not allowed on outings unless announcement specifically states that the outing is pet friendly. All Participants must sign a liability release. Our Outing Leaders are trained volunteers with First Aid training. Outings officially start at the trailhead or river access. Carpooling is encouraged but not the responsibility of the Leader. For more general information please contact Jim Rhodes at jarhodes@sbcglobal.net. All are encouraged to check for recent outing additions on our EMG website, http://www.sierraclub.org/missouri/eastern-missouri.

***WARNING***: We will not tolerate any "creepers" or stalkers. This is NOT an internet dating group. Best Advice: Do not ask someone out the FIRST time you come to a MeetUp event.

WIKIPEDIA: Adventure Defined.
"An adventure is an exciting or unusual experience. It may also be a bold, usually risky undertaking, with an uncertain outcome."
"Adventures may be activities with some potential for physical danger such as skydiving, mountain climbing or participating in extreme sports."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"Adventurous experiences create psychological arousal. For some people, adventure becomes a major pursuit in and of itself. According to adventurer André Malraux, "If a man is not ready to risk his life, where is his dignity?""
"Adventurous activities can also lead to gains in knowledge, such as those undertaken by explorers and pioneers. Adventure education intentionally uses challenging experiences for learning."
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"It is only in adventure that some people succeed in knowing themselves - in finding themselves."
Andre Gide
"We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open."
Jawaharlal Nehru
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"To me, adventure has always been to me the connections and bounds you create with people when you're there. And you can have that anywhere."
Bear Grylls
"Life is either a great adventure or nothing at all."
Helen Keller
