Established in 1980, Sundance Outdoor Adventure Society is an all-volunteer,
not-for-profit organization based in the New York metropolitan area,
devoted to non-competitive outdoor activities for the LGBT community. Sundance
began as a hiking club. As member interests diversified, other
activities were added. Sundance currently is organized around camping and backpacking, biking, boating, hiking, horseback riding, metro/cultural, skiing/snowboarding and skating.
Sundance outings are within a two-hour radius of NYC. They
can be as varied as an evening at the Museum of Modern Art, a hike in
the Catskills, or a bike ride in the Hamptons. Many outings are day
trips, but we also have weekend trips, as well as Extended Treks that
last a week or longer and have ventured as far away as Europe, South
America, New Zealand, and the Far East. Sundance also rents a Ski Lodge
near Okemo Mountain in Ludlow, Vermont, and a Beach House in Fire
Island Pines.
