All adventures and activities are initiated and organized by individual members with no claim of expertise. GLAC itself does not designate, approve, organize, or coordinate any official club events.

Members can post events, receive notice of adventures, and respond to event organizers via the forum! Join our group to gain access! Here we will provide a review of activities, updated monthly.
