Adventures

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.

Ongoing

Hikes

Monday hikes begin at 10:00 am and rotate between 5 locations. They are hosted by Lisa Fisher via Meetup.

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

Pickleball

Dave G coordinates pickleball games on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month. Watch the forum.

Indoor Climbing

Greg Boyer will be posting indoor climbing opportunities on Wednesdays at 6 pm. He is planning to host them roughly every other week starting December 13th. Beginners are welcome. The gym requires and provides training for first timers. Club members can and will provide support. The club does have harnesses you can borrow if you would like to give this a try.

Adopt-a-Highway

As a group, we have adopted a 2 mile section along M43 to keep litter under control. It’s an opportunity to meet other GLAC members while doing something good for the outdoors.  We have completed our 2023 trash pick- ups. Contact Carolyn P for more information, and watch the forum for details on 2024 dates.

Impromptu Activities

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

Planned Activities

Alaska Iditarod Race


February 25- March 4, 2024

GLAC member Kim E plans tours for the Comstock Community Center and invites GLAC members to join in this adventure. She notes it may provide a great opportunity to see the northern lights in addition to the many highlights offered in this tour. Participants will visit Fairbanks and Anchorage, ride the Alaskan Railroad, travel scenic highways, visit a wildlife center, visit the winter visitor center for Denali, meet some of the mushers and their dogs, and get an up close look at the beginning festivities for the Iditarod and the start of the race. At least five GLAC members have expressed an interest in attending. It’s not too late for you to add your name to the list.
