Tacoma MAC Kick-Off and New Member Meeting

Tacoma MAC is our year-round adventure program for teens age 14-18, or who are entering high school this year. MAC activities include rock climbing, mountaineering, camping, hiking, snowshoeing, skiing, backpacking, and general outdoor skill-building.

During the school year, the MAC Program consists of 1-2 weeknight skills sessions per month, one weeknight conditioner hike, and 1-2 weekend trips per month. During the summer, we have one week-long camping trip and several other trips, sometimes on weekdays and sometimes on weekends.

MAC members decide on trip goals in the fall, and spend the year training and preparing for their goal trips.

All new and prospective members are encouraged to attend this meeting to find out more about the program! Prospective members have the opportunity to attend the September Kick-Off trip for free before deciding whether to commit to Tacoma MAC. The September Kick-Off trip will be to Vantage, WA on Sep 30-Oct 1, for camping and rock climbing.
