HomeBrief HistoryMar 13, 2007
 The CONGRESS OUTDOORS is an association composed of employees of the House of Representatives (HOR) which was organized in February 2005. Our commitment to the association’s mission is to promote environmental consciousness, with the primary goal of undertaking environmental, civic and social projects.
   
 We are a group of outdoor enthusiasts from different department in the house united by a common sentiment: the love for the environment. And what a way to share such passion and advocacy than to formed our own outdoor group.
   
 Our group had undergone the following programs/trainings to make every member consistent with the purpose of our goal, such as: basic mountaineering courses, basic life support and standard first aid course, orienteering and land navigation exercises, basic ropemanship/rescue, jungle environmental and survival training, water safety and survival, mountain search and rescue and other essential in forming a prime organization.
   
 Other programs to follow include backpacking activities, spelunking, outreach programs, “beachineering” among others. But this does not end here. We plan to establish a group capable of conducting search and rescue, as well as relief operations, which the House of Representatives can be tapped during natural calamities and disaster and civic action program.

Thanks for droppin' by.
 
 Congress Outdoors was featured on ABS-CBN's sister company Studio 23 Team Explorer hosted by then Congressman, and now Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri, JC Gonzales etc.
