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.

Ongoing Adventures

These adventures occur regularly through the year yet may be seasonal.

Hikes

Monday hikes begin at 10:00 am and rotate between 5 locations. They are hosted by Lisa F via a separate Meetup group including multiple GLAC members.

John M has been making regular postings for mid-week hikes in the Portage/Kalamazoo area. Watch the GLAC Forum for details.

Mid-Week Bike Rides

The Portage Senior Center coordinates bike rides each week, which many of our members join. Watch the forum or check out the Senior Center calendar

Dori is leading nearly weekly rides at a more leisurely pace. Watch for her Pedal Pals notifications on the forum.

Pickleball

Dave G coordinates pickleball games in the warmer months. Watch the forum.

Loaves and Fishes

Our club volunteers to assist this charitable organization as needed on the 4th Wednesday of each month. Ralph F is the contact person if you are interested in joining us.

Mid-Week Splash

Terri L will coordinate weekly kayak river trips throughout the year, usually on Tuesday afternoons, depending upon weather.

Adopt-a-Highway

Members sponsor a stretch of M43 for the Adopt-a-Highway, traditionally in Summer and early Fall. Help keep our environment clean!

Impromptu Adventures

Any club member may lead hikes, paddles, bike rides or other activities at any time.  These activities are announced by the coordinating member via the GLAC forum.

Planned Adventures

Here’s a snapshot of what we have planned. The forum will provide members with the most up-to-date information and capability to RSVP. Click on events with dates and times and you can see more information! Or view the full calendar from the link at the end of this page.

Ottawa Sands County Park

Dave G presented information about this park. It sounds like a gem in that it has everything from tent sites to cabins, shower house to your own bathroom! Lots of on-site outdoor activities and plenty of bike trails make this an attractive destination for next spring and summer.

Virgin Islands National Park

There is a possibility of volunteering here sometime in March on the island of St John. Watch for details on the Forum. GLAC has organized multiple trips like this in previous years.
