Our Chapter

The New York-North Jersey Chapter of the Appalachian Mountain Club (also known as the AMC) hosts over 2000 outdoor recreation activities per year. We were the very first Chapter in AMC. Our 12,000 plus members come from throughout the New York City metro, southeastern New York, and northeastern New Jersey area. You can learn about our members and their outdoor adventures in our Chapter newsletter, Trails & Waves. Whatever your outdoor interests are, we have something for you. You can view our Activity Schedules online.

With over 12,000 members, the New York-North Jersey Chapter is the second largest of the 12 regional chapters of the Appalachian Mountain Club. Our Chapter offers its members more than 20 outdoor events on most weekends, many for beginners. We know that you would enjoy some of them, and we'd like you to come along. We invite you to join us on our activities and to help us conserve and preserve those outdoor resources that we all enjoy.
