Coffee Meets
Jeep nights are another great way to get out and see what our club is all about before you join.
Or just to shoot the shit about your jeep. Maybe win a prize or two.

While the club main focus has always been on the trails we do hang out on the pavement now and then.
More than ever this year it seems, but all worth a good cause.

Doing our Part - Trail Sustainability
COORJC is an OF4WD club. As such we continue to support OF4WD projects including trail exploration, trail mapping and trail maintenance.
In 2023 we adopted our 4th trail for the adopt a trail program and ran scouting runs and clean up runs for Gooderham, Pencil Lake, Jack's Lake and Concession.
We also introduced our own sustainability initiative with the COORJC Stewardship Badge Program.
Watch for call outs for volunteers to support OF4WD projects! We share them on our public group facebook page.
And please do your trail reports.

Message From the Founder
I've said it before and will say it again.... The types of people we have attracted to both our Facebook group and our Club is nothing short of amazing. The Jeep community is unlike anything I have ever been a part of. My hat’s off to Jeepers everywhere but especially to the members of the COORJC. Without you none of this would have been possible.
To our Board, those members who have volunteered their time and efforts, I can’t possibly thank you enough.
I am very proud of the club efforts to give our members some of the finest wheeling experiences possible and dedication to trail up keep and community social involvement.
Looking forward to the 2024 Season !
Thank you all.
