Since it's inception in 1996 it has  provided it's members and friends with activities and events that are safe, fun and engaging. While our home is in Indianapolis, our members can be found in Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois and Michigan. However, we also have members in Florida and Hawaii, so you'll never know where you'll run into one us!

We are a diverse and expanding group, always friendly and willing to try new and different things.  We are not a "bar" club, though we can be found doing events there from time-to-time. We can also be found doing picnics, dinners, cookouts, movie nights, poker nights, casino trips, and we even some campouts in the works.  So, check us out! We are certain our laid-back friendly style will show you have a home with the Midwest Bearpack.
