Who We Are
The Outsiders started as a New York-based social club and has now expanded to Los Angeles, Chicago and internationally to London, England and Stockholm, Sweden. Our mission is to bring people together, foster a sense of community, and develop meaningful connections through shared outdoor experiences. We work hard to keep these adventures affordable and accessible to provide more people with the opportunity to join us and experience the outdoors.
The Outsiders are made up of social butterflies, urban explorers, music lovers, outdoor enthusiasts, thrill seekers, creatives, foodies -- in essence we are urbanites looking for our next adventure with like-minded people.

“Daydreaming about being back upstate on top of Storm King Mountain! What a great day out of the city with some really great people. Thank you Outsiders for another amazing adventure! Can’t wait for the next one. ”
“Awesome people and even more awesome events!!!!!!!”
“Hiked 3 miles on this fine Sunday! Thanks for the adventure Outsiders!”
“I want to ride my bike, favorite adventure this summer. Thanks Outsiders!”
“When you do your long run on Saturday so that you can go on the most epic bike ride (to the beach) on Sunday. Thank you Outsiders.”
“I have been on several adventures with The Outsiders since coming to NYC last fall, including kayaking, hiking, and rappelling! It is always fun, relaxed, and a good time! I can’t recommend this group enough. Check them out!!!”
“My biggest tip for moving to a new city: say YES to new adventure! I spontaneously went on a bike tour from Brooklyn to @thebronxbrewery last weekend. It was totally outside my zone, but I met so many cool people and saw new parts of the city.”
“This community is awesome! The team leading Outsiders is attentive, knowledgeable, and fun. I joined my first ever hike in January as something that was safe and an activity to meet new people. During the pandemic, it’s been extremely hard to socialize and this offered a perfect blend of healthy activity plus fun quality time with new people. It’s like a family and I’m looking forward to more adventures this year that push me outside of my comfort zone! I would recommend it highly!!

“Two of my favorite days last summer happened because of Outsiders. Their events are a wonderful blend of adventure with party vibes. I’ve met so many wonderful people with common interests as a result. All I have to do is show up —every other detail has been thoughtfully planned. I know I can invite friends and they will surely have a great time; but I also know I can go solo because I’ll make friends along the way. Any time there’s an Outsiders event I know it’s going to be a day worth remembering!”
