Let's go on an Adventure!
We believe that the best experiences are those which broaden our horizons as individuals and grow our bonds as a community. Through active adventures and community engagement, our mission is to provide an inclusive platform where all can experience low cost, high fun activities in an atmosphere of encouragement and support.
Not every body is an organized sports body! Some bodies prefer to get active by getting out and connecting with our planet. Stonewall Sports Richmond's Adventure Club was created to help LGBTQ+ folks of all backgrounds and ability levels get out into nature. You might be an avid wilderness explorer, or you might be looking to get out of your comfort zone and try something new. We hope to plan the adventure you�?�¢??re looking for!
Typically, our Adventure Club has offered activities in the Summer and Winter seasons, but we are hoping to expand programming to offer seasonal adventures all year long. Some offerings we would like to expand on include:
- Overnight camping trips
- Hiking day trips
- Biking day trips
- Community cleanups
- Snow tubing, skiing and other snow sports
- Rafting and other water sports
- Running or workout groups
- Seasonal fun activities like tacky light tours, water balloon fights, etc.!
Please note that we continue to follow and enforce Stonewall Sports' COVID-19 guidelines. This requires all participants to provide proof of vaccination or provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of each adventure they plan to participate in.
How to register
Registration happens in the weeks leading up to each event. Cost may vary widely based on equipment/travel needs. Participants will be required to sign/accept the most recent Stonewall Sports Richmond participation waiver before their first adventure. This may be done by pre-registering on LeagueApps. Players may need to sign additional waivers for some adventures that come with added liability or that partner with other organizations.
STAY TUNED FOR UPCOMING EVENTS
How to get more involved
Do you have ideas for other adventures you'd like to help organize? Join the Adventure Club Committee! The committee consists of members, a chair, and the Wellness Director. We are currently seeking new members AND a chair!
Committee members should be ready and willing to meet virtually on a monthly basis to help plan upcoming adventures and to complete tasks outside of meeting times to make events happen. Committee members are also expected to attend and help lead at least some adventures based on ability and interest.
