Welcome To Our Website
WHO ARE WE?
We are an adventure related group for singles and families. Although we currently hold our meetings at the Cabarrus County Senior Center, we have members of all ages from childhood through seniors.
The club was chartered in 1986 for the purpose of organizing group activities and fellowship and promoting a greater enjoyment, awareness and respect for the world we share. We do this through our newsletter, meetings and events.
We strive to plan a variety of activities to appeal to members' interests and physical capabilities. Most of our adventures are local or within a few hours drive of Concord, NC.
All of our trips are planned or organized by one or more of our members.
We encourage members, including new ones, to offer suggestions and lead
trips to locations or activities that interest them.
