Welcome to the Nature Coast "Rambers" AVA group website.

We are an outdoor activity club of friendly people of all ages who enjoy self-paced hiking or walking, biking, and kayaking activities in the Citrus County area. The club is associated with the American Volkssport Association (AVA), a national walking association which in turn is affiliated with an International group.

Walking, hiking and biking, and kayaking with the club promote fitness. Our goal is to provide events that can challenge you to keep active and are fun. We start walks and rides, and kayak outings in different locations, which is a great way to explore the many beautiful trails, parks, forests and waterways in our area.

We also maintain three designated year-round 10k trails or walking routes which can be walked for AVA credit: in the two state parks in the County—at the Crystal River Preserve and at Fort Cooper, and a historic and scenic walk in Crystal River.

Hope you will join us for our next club event; all events are open to the public. You can become a member of the Nature Coast Volkssport Club for only $10/year or $12 Per couple. Contact our club president, Karl Seidman at (352) 344-1531 for additional information. There is a downloadable application on our Yahoo website under files.

Members are kept informed of upcoming club activities by e-mail, or by phone if they do not have access to a computer, and posted on this website. Our bicycle outings are generally the second Friday each month, hiking or walking is generally the third Saturday of each month, and kayaking is usually the last Tuesday of each month.

Please use this website to get information, post messages, and ask questions about our club. There is no cost involved in joining the Yahoo group. No off-subject messages will be allowed.

Hope you will join us for our next club event and become a member of the Nature Coast Volkssport Club.
