Upcoming events

  • BIPOC Ice Climbing Clinic w/ Jordan Revis

    Join The Outside Social Club for a winter weekend in Rumney, NH built for first-timers and early-stage climbers who want real instruction, good vibes, and a supportive environment. You’ll learn core ice climbing skills, dial in movement + tool technique

  • Climb and Vibe Series: Rock Spot Malden

    We’re bringing the community back together for another Climb & Vibe — a welcoming, high-energy night of climbing, connection, and encouragement.

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.
