I've mentioned before that I started this blog as an off-shoot of my adventure club, the League of Adventurous Women. The League meets each January and picks four official activities for the year and then we usually have someone offer to lead a few bonus events on the side. This year, we officially chose to
1. visit a psychic
2. go camping
3. learn crabbing and oystering on the Chesapeake Bay
4. play paintball
Side events
1.Tailgate at the Marlboro Hunt (Steeplechase horse race)
2. Form a Dragon Boat team for the DC Dragon Boat Festival
3. attend Trapeze school
4. Take a bus trip to New York
If this looks like an ecclectic list it's because we have a very ecclectic group. What sounds like adventure to one woman usually feels too tame or too horrifying to another. In the past we've done everything from wine tasting and flower arranging to rock climbing and the firing range. The group works, however, because each activity is an opportunity NOT an obligation and because the activity happens even if only a few die-hards participate.
Tired of doing the same-old-same-old? Then why not launch your own adventure club? Here's how to get started.
