Welcome to the Boulder Newcomers Club website!

BNC is a volunteer-run, non-profit social organization with nearly 400 members. We are a very active club, with over 30 events per month, ranging from Member Mingles to fun hikes on the beautiful trails around Boulder. We join to make new friends and have fun together while learning about our communities. We are couples, singles, empty nesters, working people, and retirees who are new to Boulder County. Feel free to explore our website! Take a look at our schedule on the monthly calendar; watch our slideshow of members making friends. If you have lived in Boulder County for three years or less, and decide we are a good fit for you, please see our instructions below for how to join the club. We look forward to making friends with you, too.

Sincerely,

Tom Ortwein, BNC President

Did you know? If you host a mingle or a Superbowl party, you can pre-register for a mingle of your choice the following month, and still sign up for 4 events on registration day.
We need more hosts- you can make events any size that’s comfortable for your home. Drop a line to BoulderNewcomersClub@gmail.com to let us know.

Two fun winter events will be available for early signup – these do not count against the registration day limit of 4 events – both are available starting October 31.

The BNC 2025 Winter Wonderland Party will be held December 12th. Join our Festive Winter Party! Good friends and good cheer, come jingle and mingle. Enjoy delicious bites, cheerful company, and a dash of sparkle!

Our annual Nordic Skiing trip to Snow Mountain Ranch will take place February 23-26, 2026. In addition to skate and classic Nordic skiing, there are extensive snowshoe trails, a tubing hill, swimming, and dog sledding. Beginner lessons and rentals are available and with so much easy terrain, it’s a great place to learn to Nordic ski – SO ALL ARE WELCOME!
