On today’s episode, we are joined by Andy Dragt, founder of one of the fastest-growing outdoor clubs in North America– Slow and Steady. As an alternative to competitive clubs that often overlook beginners or slow-goers, Andy founded a welcoming, accessible club geared towards adventurers of all skill levels. Based in Calgary AB, the club has organized thousands of trips in Western Canada, from technical scrambles to easy urban walks and everything in between.
Intrigued by the idea of joining an outdoor club? Tune in to today’s episode and get inspired to join an adventure community. Outdoor clubs are great– enabling novice and expert hikers alike to confidently explore the outdoors while forging lifelong connections along the way– what more could you ask for?
