Our Adventure recreational clubs; welcome, train, and support anyone interested in the Great Outdoors, even those who have never put a foot in the forest.

      “Hey there Napoleon! Great meeting you too. Thanks for the other group info, I'm going to go check that out...I find myself sadly in need of some outdoors events in the next few weeks. You could check out "The Next Adventure" (meetup) or the Appalachian Mountain Club (google them) too...although like I mentioned, the AMC tends to be a bit older crowd. Anywho. I'll have to look up Panza and try that, meet some new people and all. Hope you're well and hope we'll meet up again, ~ Carrie”
