About Inner City Outings

The Miami Group has a rich program of outings and the year long schedule is posted each April. Activities include: camping, hiking, snorkeling, backpacking, canoeing and kayaking. 
We also offer canoe and backpack workshops, Saturday bike trips, and conservation service projects. We travel to rivers and parks in North and Central Florida and to State and local parks in Dade and Monroe counties. Trips are rated leisure to strenuous and everyone pitches in with the work. Our camping and canoeing trips have central commissary and prices include food and transportation. 
We have special family outings where parents can help their children learn to enjoy the wonders of nature and the fun of camping out. To sign up for an outing, come to our general meetings on the second Monday of every month.

The Miami Group has a long tradition of support for Environmental Education in Dade County Schools. We encourage students and enlighten teachers (grades 1 - 12) on environmental issues. We publish a newsletter called the Miami Eco-News which provides teachers with sources for environmental materials and informs students of events and issues. Each year we recognize the county's youngest environmentalists and their leaders with the presentation of our Miami Group Green Awards.
