Outdoor Explorations
MISSION STATEMENTIf you are a Hopkins alumni and you enjoy the outdoors, that's all you need to be a part of this group! If you were active as a student in Outdoors Club, Outdoors Pursuits, or Experiential Education activities, if you ever hung out at the rock climbing wall, or only discovered nature after too many all-nighters in the library, come join us.
Activities are alumni-driven and open to suggestions - from easy hikes to kayaking, stream clean-ups to camping. If you are interested in being a key alumni volunteer, please contact us. If you are interested in simply participating, keep your eye on upcoming events and join the Facebook group. This Affinity is not restricted to a particular region - if there is a viable idea and an alumni group wants to participate, the Johns Hopkins Alumni Association can help.
