The Club
The Mountaineers is proud to host an Adventure Club in Seattle and Tacoma. The Adventure Club is a year-round outdoor adventure program for youth of ages 14-18. Currently youth from more than 15 high schools - from Everett to Issaquah and West Seattle to Tacoma - make up our Seattle and Tacoma Clubs. Members meet multiple times monthly to plan outings, learn skills needed to participate, and go on trips.
The youth members plan all of their outings, with guidance from adult advisers. From single-day outings to week long camping trips, activities have included rock climbing, backcountry skiing, backpacking, hiking, car camping, snow-cave camping, cross-country skiing and mountaineering. While attendance at all meetings and trips is not required, the more meetings and outings you attend, the more you get out of the program!
Pricing
MAC membership is $2,200 annually for students joining in the fall. Students joining in the winter will be prorated. The standard payment structure will be a 100% up-front payment upon registration. Upon request, members may opt-in to a 4-installment payment plan. This is an annual club.
To join, members must pay the entire course fee on this page when registering. If members wish to opt-in to the payment plan, they will make that request upon being offered a spot after the lottery. In that case, registration will be handled manually by staff in order to bypass the full course fee and begin with installments. Interested members will have the opportunity to join in on at least trip before paying and committing.
We offer financial assistance! To apply for financial assistance click here.
REGISTRATION
rEGISTRATION FOR THIS COURSE IS CLOSED
WHEN CAN I REGISTER FOR MAC?
Our registration process is outlined in our enrollment lottery. Anyone wishing to join MAC needs to have completed an enrollment lottery submission. This applies to returning and prospective new members. After families have been notified of lottery results, staff will offer families spots in the program which may be accepted here on this page.
Here is a video that demonstrates the registration process for individual trips, which will be a helpful reference after accepting your offer to join the club, which will be extended manually by staff according to lottery results. Note: The video shows the Junior MAC course, but the process is the same for all of our youth clubs.
KICKOFF TRIP
To register for the Seattle MAC Kick-Off Trip, visit the activity page for that trip which is listed as a stand-alone seminar in order to allow prospective members to register.
ALL OTHER TRIPS
To register (or cancel) for trips, make sure to always do it from THIS PAGE. Here is a video that demonstrates the registration process both for the club as a whole and for individual trips.
- Click on "Manage Registration" on the right side of this page
- Check the box(es) of the trip(s) you'd like to register for
- Scroll to the bottom and click "save"

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
If it's not letting you register your child: check to make sure your child's "Youth Information Form" and "Youth Programs Form" are filled out on their profile, accessible via the "Youth Forms" tab.
Check this FAQ for an in-depth look at registration and the forms including helpful screenshots.
If it's not letting you register as a chaperone: check to make sure your Mountaineers waiver is filled out on your profile and that you still have your QYL badge and/or QYL: Teen Clubs badge (expires after 3 years).
Attend our summer Info Session
Our program year begins in September. We host our info session so you can learn in more depth what Explorers and Jr. MAC are and what we offer as well as ask all of your questions.

Climbing gear is available directly to MAC students via the MAC manager, most other gear must be requested through through the Gear Library.
