The CMC is a community-based volunteer organization that promotes non-motorized outdoor recreation and conservation in the Catskill Mountain region.
The Catskill Mountain Club is an association of outdoor enthusiasts who love to hike, camp, fish, hunt, canoe, kayak, bike, climb and otherwise enjoy nature and non-motorized outdoor recreational pursuits in the Catskill Mountains. We could think of no better time to kick-off this new club than in 2004, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Catskill Park!
The CMC is a grassroots founded not-for-profit organization that promotes safe, responsible, sustainable outdoor recreation and seeks to enhance public awareness and appreciation of the Catskills natural and cultural resources.
Our Mission:
The Catskill Mountain Club is a member-directed, not-for-profit organization formed to promote sustainable and safe outdoor recreation within the Catskill Park and on public lands throughout the Catskill Mountain Region. The CMC strives to increase public awareness and appreciation of the Catskill region, including its natural resources, public lands, and recreational opportunities by advancing the following values:
– Offering responsible and sustainable non-motorized outdoor recreational activities to the public
– Promoting volunteer stewardship through: the building of new trails and the maintenance of existing trails; supporting the preservation of public recreational access and facilities; supporting the protection of natural resources and the environment; participating in partnerships that seek to achieve these goals
– Offering informational programs that highlight the natural and human histories of the Catskills; issues affecting the health and preservation of the environment; and skills needed to safely enjoy outdoor recreational opportunities
– Working to improve regional and local economies through the enhancement and promotion of public outdoor recreational opportunities and facilities
– Advocating for public policies and adequate funding for their implementation, consistent with our purpose and for the benefit of the Catskill Mountain Region.
