Memberships are on a calendar-year basis.  Renewal dues are collected every year between October 1 and December 31.  Reminders appear in the October, November and December Newsteps, available in the Member-only pages.  The deadline for 2027 dues is December 31, 2026.

Renewing members have two choices for paying their dues:
1. Pay online (via credit card) from this Members only page.  OR
2. Mail a check or money order payable to Cleveland Hiking Club to:

Memberships that lapse for one or more years can be reinstated upon completion of a reinstatement application and payment of reinstatement fee (in addition to annual dues).
