Become A Member


Top five reasons to join S.O.L.A.R.

  1. Experience the outdoors as you never have before. Hike under a star-filled sky... backpack through a virgin forest... hunt for trilobites in a fossil-rich riverbed... crawl on hands and knees through underground caverns... dog-sled across the tundra... climb a frozen waterfall... conquer a summit. Your adventures are limited only by your imagination!
  2. Learn the ins and outs of outdoor adventure. Check out our calendar page to be routed to the classes and activites run through S.O.L.A.R.
  3. Form lasting friendships with other like-minded people. Read the testimonials of the steering committee members in their biographies on the Steering Committee page. If you think you're alone in your appreciation of the outdoors, you're in for a wonderful surprise.
  4. Get quite a return on your membership fees. Some outfitter stores offer discounts to S.O.L.A.R. members. You can borrow gear from S.O.L.A.R.'s extensive equipment list with just a refundable deposit. Get a free club newsletter recapping past trips and describing upcoming adventures. Gain access to our Yahoo group where you can post questions to be answered by other members. Learn about the outdoors through one of the many classes and workshops offered through S.O.L.A.R. or take fantastic trips at or near cost. Never has so much fun been so inexpensive!
  5. Develop your leadership and teamwork skills. Plan a trip, teach a class, or hold an office.
