Discover the Great Outdoors...
...In Your Own Backyard!
Welcome to the Orange County Sierra Singles (OCSS)! We are a section of the Angeles Chapter of the Sierra Club. While supporting the Sierra club in their environmental issues, our primary focus is on exploring and enjoying the wild areas around us. Orange County is an area rich in protected regional and wilderness parks and hundreds of miles of trails for us to explore!
We welcome people of all backgrounds and ages. We love to meet new people and make new friends, and many lasting friendships have been formed on our various events. You do not need to be single or be a Sierra Club Member in order to take part in our many outings and activities. From hiking and skiing, to movie nights and dances, you are sure to find an event you will enjoy and many new friends await you!
