Renew Or Upgrade To Sustaining Membership

You are getting this message either because you were trying to access something restricted to sustaining members or you wish to upgrade to a sustaining membership.

All sustaining memberships are used for member parties, raffle prizes, discounts, website maintenance, communication tools plus any other fun thing we can dream up! To maintain activities and programs, we depend on our Sustaining Members, our main source of operating funds. GayOutdoors has no paid staff - your entire membership is used to support our projects, programs and website. We appreciate your generosity to help continue our mission - together - transforming lives, building a community, and promoting visibility through outdoor recreation for gay and gay friendly men in New England. Many members support us because it's the right thing to do...they want us to continue to do what we are doing for the gay community. A Sustaining Membership goes directly to:

• FREE ADVENTURES - Your support helps recruit, train and mobilize members to post adventures in our goal to improve the mind, body and spirit of our members through outdoor recreation. We offer over 100 activities every year.
• Sustaining Members Parties - We host parties throughout New England where we raffle off prizes. Some are free to sustaining members and open to everyone else with a small fee. These are great whether you are curious about us or you're eager to see the friends you made on a GayOutdoors Adventure!
• Discounts - Notch Hostel, HE Travel, Frog Meadow Farm Bed & Breakfast Oasis for Men, and Mountainside Campground for Men. We are working on adding more.
• Outdoorzy Gay Commmunity - Your support provides an accessible, safety-conscious, outdoorzy community for gay and gay friendly men in New England.
• Operational Expenses - You help us pay for website hosting, PayPal membership processing fees, email newsletter publication, advertising and future improvements to our website.
• Skill Building - Your support provides opportunities for teaching, learning, sharing, and skill-building for gay and gay friendly men. We provide beginner workshops to include hiking, backpacking, winter hiking, map & compass, cross-country skiing, trip leading and more.
• Trail Maintenance - You help us supply us with the trail maintenance tools we need to maintain our adopted trails.
• Protecting the Outdoors - Active in engagement in, and advocacy for, protecting the outdoors we enjoy such as the Boisvert-Normand Nature Preserve.
