Kitsap Branch

about us

Founded on March 6, 2003, the Kitsap branch counts in its backyard the trails, waters, and mountains of both the Kitsap and Olympic peninsulas. Over slightly more than a decade this branch has developed very strong climbing and hiking programs and in the past few years its conservation/education program has also grown significantly. Other Kitsap Branch courses and activities include snowshoe/winter travel, navigation, and first aid.  The branch is currently exploring the possibility of starting a naturalist committee.   

Our activity committees sponsor several stewardship efforts each year and recurring events include our fall Salmon Safaris and an annual mushroom walk. The branch hosts an Annual General Membership meeting  every October. A major goal of the branch is to add more family activities in 2017.

MEETINGS

Most branch meetings and courses are held at the historic Kitsap Cabin at 3153 Seabeck Highway, which is located on the Kitsap Forest Theater/Rhododendron Reserve property between Silverdale and Bremerton. However, some meetings may be held at other locations throughout Kitsap, Jefferson, or Clallam Counties depending upon the activity or the audience to be reached. Branch council meetings are held quarterly on the third Thursday of the designated month at 5:45 pm. To find the day and location of the council meetings please check the Kitsap Branch event calendar  of the Mountaineers website or go to our Meetup page - Kitsap branch of the Mountaineers.

Founded in March 2003, the Kitsap Branch counts in its backyard the trails, waters, and mountains of both the Kitsap and Olympic Peninsulas. Under its policies, a nominating committee is formed in the second quarter of each year and nominees for council arepresented at the regular September meeting, at which time two nominations from the floor may also be accepted. Elections are held at or before the October General Meeting of the membership.  Officers have no limits on the length of their desired term.
