The Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) is a nearly 150-year-old conservation nonprofit focused on outdoor recreation from Maine to Virginia. With over 30 lodges, huts, and volunteer camps & cabins, we believe that by getting people outdoors, we unlock and deepen our community’s commitment to conservation. We partner with local communities, outdoor brands, and government entities to expand our community’s impact.

In 2026, AMC will celebrate 150 years of connecting people to the outdoors. This milestone is a chance to grow membership, deepen community pride, and build awareness of AMC as the nation’s oldest conservation and recreation organization. To mark the occasion, AMC is organizing a 1,500-mile relay from Virginia to Maine, a multi-month journey connecting our members, volunteers, and partners across the region. The relay anchors a yearlong campaign of events, storytelling, and outreach that will highlight AMC’s history and the power of community. Learn more about AMC 150
