Upcoming events

  • Climb and Vibe: December!

    Climb & Vibe started as a simple idea: move together and make the gym feel like home. It quickly turned into one of our most-loved gatherings.

  • Anniversary Ski Party - Wachusett

    Last year we hit the slopes with over 70 riders and set the tone for what The Outside Social Club would become. Now, a year later, we’re doing it bigger, better, and louder.

Who are we?

We started The Outside Social Club because we were tired of being the only people of color on the slopes, the trails, and the crag. We knew others felt the same — eager for connection, craving adventure, but unsure where to start. So we built something new.

We’re a Boston-grown community built on curiosity, respect, inclusivity, and stewardship. Our mission is simple: to create fun, safe spaces where anyone — especially those new to the outdoors — can try something new, learn new skills, and meet new friends who get it.

From our hikes and ski trips to our après events at local spots like Idle Hands Brewery, everything we do is about bringing people together. We’re here to show that time outdoors isn’t a luxury — it’s our birthright.
