The Explorers Club website provides details on how to apply for membership, detailed descriptions of our membership categories, and membership requirements. Just follow the JOIN US link featured at the bottom of this page.
Application forms can also be downloaded directly from The Explorers Club website. Each applicant is registered with The Explorers Club and is assessed quarterly by the club’s Membership committee. To complete your application form you will require two sponsors from within the Club. If you are struggling with this section then please reach out to our Canadian Chapter’s Membership Director and they will help answer any questions, assist you with ensuring your application form is complete, and if needed, help you find the two required club sponsors to sign your application. Sponsors are usually helpful in preparing applications and assisting with the process.
We highly recommend that you DO NOT submit your completed application directly to The Explorers Club headquarters in New York City, but instead forward it to our Canadian Chapter’s Membership Director to assist you through the vetting process.
