The Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) is a 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.
