Welcome the NORSA website! The mission and purpose of the National Outdoor Recreation Society of America is to promote camping, hiking, backpacking, rock climbing, caving, hunting, fishing, sailing, rafting, and all outdoor recreation. We emphasize a healthy respect, awareness, and appreciation of nature and, therefore, encourage minimal impact camping and the ideals of Leave-No-Trace outdoor ethics. Our goal is to instill a love of outdoors into everyone interested. Nature has a lot to offer, we are here to help everyone enjoy the outdoors to the fullest. At the NORSA website you can browse through photos of
our various expeditions, learn more about our purpose, check out member

The roots of the NORSA lie in the minds of two high school students who
wanted to involve their classmates in the kinds of activities that they got
so much enjoyment out of. Upon graduating, they wanted to keep up the
tradition and extend the reach of their influential little idea. So, the
NORSA was born. Since its conception in 1998 to its founding in 2001 to its
present state today, the NORSA has been a resource for people interested in
the outdoors. When Adam and Tom founded their club, they didn't expect much
of it, but it has blossomed and generated much more interest. As it
continues to grow, so do their plans to reach more people, host greater
events, sponsor more members, and perhaps even more amazing things to come.
One thing is certain, though, the NORSA will always exist as long as
Americans love the outdoors and continue to interact with nature.
