Family Events

“To keep alive their inborn sense of wonder, children need the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with them the joy, mystery, and excitement of the world we live in.” (Quote adapted from Rachel Carson.)

SEM occasionally offers family-friendly activities. Although some AMC activities are designed to appeal to a specific audience, AMC activities are open to all who meet the minimum qualifications established by the leader. Do you think your child has the fitness level and gear for an activity listed for adults? Contact the leader to understand the level of difficulty. When registering, include the child’s name. Children under 18 need to be accompanied by an adult guardian who will also sign the waiver on behalf of the child.

Activity Participation Policy

"AMC encourages involvement in its mission and activities, through its membership, programs, policies and procedures. Our goal is to be a community that is comfortable, inviting and accessible for people of any age, gender, race, religion, ethnicity, ability, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status. Some AMC programs are designed for a certain age range of members or for a special activity or topic. However, any person who meets the minimum qualifications (skills, experience, fitness) established by the trip leader(s) for an activity is eligible to attend, if space is available."
