OC HIKING — Kids in Need of Nature HikesThis model program helps disadvantage youth and is the only one of its kind throughout the United States and has received high praises from the community and agencies. We work with local OC agencies such as Orange Wood Foundation, Foster Care Auxiliary, Social Services agencies and others by taking disadvantaged youth outdoors. These magical and highly effective hikes take kids out into nature in a supportive social environment. Studies show that even a small amount of positive adult attention can make a big difference in the life of a child. The hikes are led by hike organizers who have had a Live Scanned background check and the youth are accompanied by staff or adults from the accompanying agency. If you wish to attend these hikes and help our communities Kids in Need of Nature please join the club and read the calendar event text carefully.
Revocation of membershipThe OC Hiking Club, its President and the Board of Directors, reserves the right to revoke the membership of any member without comment at any time for behavior deemed inappropriate or unsafe. Such behavior includes, but is not limited to refusal to follow directions of hike organizers during events; unwanted attention towards or harassment of a fellow member; hostile, rude or inappropriate treatment of a fellow member; failure to follow safety guidelines established by the organization; failure to follow club bylaws; failure to comply with local, state, or federal regulations while engaged in club activities; etc.

Conduct and Conflict of Interest Guidelines Be nice! OCHC requires members to choose their real names for their profile in any of the following formats: "Adam Smith," "Adam," "Adam S.".Names chosen by members as their profile-names should not be offensive in nature and may not, in any manner, be used for a personal, or a professional gain. Internet identities and code-names are inappropriate. OCHC web site should not be used as a platform for promoting, or advertising professional skills, vocations, or businesses without a prior written approval by the Board. While the Board understands that some personal and/or professional information may be included in the member's profile (such as education, occupation, and the nature of your business), promotion or advertising of a personal or a professional nature is not allowed. Members’ profiles should not contain any offensive, derogatory, or inappropriate language or photographs. The primary photo (visible on RSVPs and front page of profile) should be “family friendly” and reflect the face of the member. When posting an RSVP for an event, or writing comments in the appropriate section, members should refrain from making comments that might be offensive to others, or are self-serving in promoting personal or professional matters. Although members may want to share about themselves during OCHC activities, we ask that you avoid excessive "shop talk" or selling your wares to members during the events. Understanding that it is often unpleasant to fend off an aggressive sales pitch, especially during a hike, such behavior is not welcomed during OCHC events. Members and hike organizers are encouraged to report to the Board any profiles, pictures, comments, RSVP, or aggressive sales pitch that violate the above guidelines, or otherwise are inappropriate. OCHC Board has the broad discretion to, and reserves the right to delete any name, RSVP, comment, picture, or profile that violates the guidelines stated above, or that it deems inappropriate for any reason, and without prior notice, or warning to member.A 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
