Welcome to PHOC

Come join us on an outing!!

Founded in 1982, PHOC is an outdoor activities club with 600+ members, primarily from the Piedmont Triad area including Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point, Thomasville, Burlington, and surrounding communities. We do have members from Chapel Hill to Asheville, and Charlotte to Reidsville. Most members are in their 40's - 60's, with some individuals and families of older and younger ages. 

Regular activities include:
  • Day hikes, canoeing/kayaking, and biking
  • Overnight backpacking, camping in conjunction with day activities
  • Dinner outings, club parties and picnics
  • Other events, including group trips throughout the US and around the world

Saturdays we aim to schedule 3 hikes with a variety of difficulty, and drive times of 30 minutes to 3 hours. Sundays we usually schedule an easy hike with a short drive distance. Bike rides and paddles are added when scheduled. You can see our upcoming events here. Members also suggest pick-up hikes, bike rides and paddles via our private Google Group.

You name it, the group has something for everyone! See the Join page for our low annual rates.

    Join Us for a Holiday Celebration!

    Let’s celebrate the holidays together with good food, good company, and a fun holiday game or two! Dressy casual attire is welcome.

    Achilles Grill will cater the meal, featuring chicken, beef, and lamb skewers; spanakopita; Greek salad; rice; pita bread; and Tasaki sauce and salad dressing. The club will provide wine and beer.

    A link to register for this event as well as a link to sign up to bring an appetizer or dessert will be provided as soon as we are finished gathering our November / December events.

    This year we’ve decided to partner with Westminster Presbyterian Church for a food drive benefiting the Refugee Feeding Network. This is a community-led program ensuring our refugee neighbors have access to wholesome, nutritious food. It’s a meaningful way to support those who were welcomed to our area and are now facing food insecurity.
