We are a nonprofit club based in York County, Pennsylvania, under the auspices of the American Volkssport Association (AVA) and the Keystone State Volkssport Association (KSVA). We host non-competitive walking, biking, swimming, and snowshoeing events in the area. Our mission is to provide opportunities for fun, fitness, and friendship and to support local rail trails and park land charitable trusts.

SATURDAY WALKS 2025
The Wanderers have group walks to promote our Year-Round Events, usually on the first Saturday of the month unless there is a holiday or other event on or near the scheduled date, or in case of inclement weather. In that case we usually postpone the walk to the second or subsequent Saturday of the month. Arrive at the Start location anytime between 9 am and 12 pm. Meet up and walk with others or walk alone, whichever you prefer. Contact Gloria Reedy at (717) 495-0518 if you have any questions. Here are the remaining walks for 2025:
