About the Club
The Wilderness Adventurers outdoor club was formed more than
25 years ago by a small group of canoeists. The club has since grown and is currently around
100 members strong. Members share a variety of interests from cross-country
skiing to hiking, and both flat and whitewater canoeing. The congenial nature
of the club encourages one to join in, learn new skills, carry on club traditions
and, most importantly, the club believes in maintaining our natural heritage
for the enjoyment of all.
The Wilderness Adventurers of Ontario is all volunteer based. The club itself does not organize most trips, or own any equipment. Members organize their own trips, which are then listed in the quarterly newsletter that is sent out to all the members by e-mail, and are also listed in the Members' section of our web page. The club provides you with a virtual meeting place and forum to connect with other people to go camping, canoeing, hiking or any other outdoor activity that you would like to organize or participate in.
Club outings are planned and organized by members, with a minimum of formality and
expense. All particpants in a trip are considered equal peers although trip organizers will assist in arranging car
pools and answering questions. Participants share in the cost of food, transportation, and park or camping fees. Members provide
their own equipment, but trip organizers can often assist new members in renting
or borrowing essential items.
Our annual meeting is held in November at a location in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). This is when the club executive committee recaps the year's events for club members and discusses any other topics of interest to club members. Members at the AGM also elect a new executive committee. The following executive positions are filled by active members who volunteer their time for a 2-year term.
The club is an affiliate member of Ontario Nature. In this capacity the club supports awareness of environmental issues and encourages
individual member action.
