“Thank you all so much. If it wasn't for BCO, I certainly wouldn't have so many warm wishes for my birthday. You all make me feel like family and I love you all.” 

Terry S

“When I moved to Houston, I didn't know anyone so a colleague recommended Bayou City Outdoors (BCO). I went on the Monday and Wednesday evening walks and made wonderful friends so quickly after I joined the club. I now enjoy walking, cycling, hiking and kayaking, as well as going to regular socials and always know someone! We are very lucky to have BCO in Houston – good people, good times!”

We're like, really really Social

Sure - we're an Outdoor Club, but really we're an Outdoor Social Club, and we know how to have fun. Our socials could be a happy hour, maybe a wine tasting, dinner & brews, game night, house concerts or music venues. Even dog parties like the Hairy Happy Hour. The sky is the limit when it comes to getting together and having fun.

"Thanks, BCO, for all the great times!!" ~Dave


We LOVE to Hike, everywhere!

Hiking is one of our favorite activities and you can always find a hike on the calendar. We'll show you where to go, what you need (and don't need), safety tips, maps and all levels of hikes. You'd be shocked at how many trails we have even in the city. We can't wait to show you!

"Hiking in the Smoky Mountains with BCO was a dream come true. But what was actually even better for me were all the training hikes we went on in Houston before the trip. Who knew (well, I guess BCO) there were so many places to go in our own backyard. I have a new absolute favorite passion - hiking" ~ Karen


Dinners in the Dining Capital, anyone?

Did we mention we like "balance" in our lives? Usually there's an activity first...but we're in Houston and we do love the amazing restaurant choices here. We're always trying somewhere new. Bon appetit!

"You don't know how much this club means to me. Moving to Texas after the death of my wife and meeting all the wonderful people in the club has been really good for me. Even though I thought I would be older than most, I have been totally accepted and age is not a problem." ~Mike

Travel? How fast can you pack your bags!

Travel. We love it. And with the right people, it's even more fun. With BCO you always have travel buddies. And there are always different types of travel. Luxe, chill, adventure, hiking, biking, wine tasting, always something fun and new.

"The New Zealand trip was my favorite trip so far. It was exciting. There was an adventure. The people were awesome. It was everything that a vacation should be! Did I mention I loved it :)" ~ Judy


You never forget how to ride a bike. 

Bike gathering dust? No friends to ride with? Did you get dropped on a "local shop ride they said anyone could do?" We understand and fit our rides to your level. From a City Cruise, to Road Cycling to Dirt trails - we do it all. They are no-drop rides and you're invited.

"I want to thank everyone on the farmer's market bike ride Saturday. Not having ridden in a couple of decades, I was a bit apprehensive. I not only survived but had a great time and gained a lot of confidence. I look forward to more rides." ~Becky


Water, water everywhere and so many fun things to do!

New to kayaking and want to learn? Been eyeing a SUP? Looking for friends who will join you on the water? Look no further. Not only do we paddle, we'll teach you, loan you boats and even deliver them!

"I'd been wanting to learn to kayak but never had friends that would go with me to learn. I saw BCO at the International Festival, signed up the next day!! I've been hiking and kayaking since. I'm looking forward to doing so much more ~ Jon


Fancy a night under the stars?

When was the last time you enjoyed a night under the stars around a campfire? If it's been too long, come join us on a campout. Maybe you are like some of our members who would like to enjoy the camping activites (hikes, games, dinners, star gazing) but don't want to sleep in a tent? No problem - we often rent cabins or find hotels or B&B's close. We'll never let a tent and cot come between you and fun!

"Please make the Caddo Lake campout an annual event - that was one of my fav trips ever." ~ Gail

FAQ

What is BCO? 

BCO gives you the opportunity to enjoy more of what Houston (and the world) has to offer while in the company of like-minded, fun, adventure seekers. We are the largest social & activity club of it’s kind. We offer a packed event calendar for you to pick and choose the events of you want. Each month we typically hold 80 to 100 events. This is great for meeting other like-minded fun folks, if you're new in town, or you just want to get more out of life in Houston. BCO allows you to have fun and meet new people in a relaxed, no-pressure environment!

Is this a singles group? 

No, we are not a singles club. We have approximately 55% singles and 45% couples, but those are just numbers! We have married members who come because their spouse travels or doesn’t have the same interests. We have single people who love BCO because they never feel like they are in an uncomfortable social situation. That said, we have had a lot of marriages over the years. And the cool thing? Those couples who met through BCO stick around and love to introduce new people to the group. It’s a crowd you want to hang out with. 

What age are BCO Members?

We're 40's, 50's, 60's. If you are looking for a gorup for the 20's and 30's check out our sister club HTXO.
