Chemeketans

The Chemeketans is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1928 united in a common interest in outdoor activities. We are a membership organization with about 700 members based in Salem, Oregon. Our primary activity is day hiking but includes many other outdoor activities and special events. We schedule cross-country ski trips, snowshoe outings, bicycle trips, canoe/kayak adventures, backpacks, mountain climbs, and picture nights where members and guests share their adventures. Other events include museum trips, urban hikes, car camps, and building and maintaining trails.There is a program for those who wish to share in the club's ever expanding commitment to conservation of natural resources. We have an Annual Banquet and a two-week Annual Outing which provides meals and hiking adventures for up to 100 people each week.
