XPLOR ADVENTURS is dedicated to bringing you to new horizons, experiencing new things, building confidence, educating, harnessing the love of everything around us, freindship, teamwork, and a great time while having great goals.





XPLOR ADVENTURS is where the serious and the young at heart come to play. Watch the video and see some of the things you're missing out on. We've got it all, from the Cuisine xplorations to the Urban xplorations! You never know what you're in for until you get there and hey part of the fun is just trying to get there...






Our XPLORations and ADVENTURs can include and are not limited to :



  • The fine cuisine concoctions that the wonderful people of this earth has to feed us with
  • The amazing mountains of this wondrous world that we live in
  • The undergrounds in which we step our feet on
  • The insides of abandoned places that beckon us to XPLOR for historical sakes
  • The insides of decorred places that beckon us to learn about the past of our awesome existence
  • Multiday journeys out in the wild and all we'll have with us is the underwear we are wearing
  • Under the seas which our sea freinds call home
  • In the jungles of Africa and the Amazon where we can pretend to be Tarzan looking for Jane
  • Rollerskating to the sounds of that favorite 70s disco tune
  • Space odyssey's in which we fantasize of but only here do we make them real (wooooo)
  • Jump out an airplane and scream mommy cause you lost your pants in midair while openning that 'chute
  • Mountain bike from coast to coast in the jungles of Costa Rica
  • Eat exotic fruit that MAN has planted for us (I said MAN not MEN)
  • Journey from hut to hut on the White Mountains with your skis or snowboards or even your snowshoes
  • Surf the mad waves of the beaches of South Jersey and beyond
  • Travel to distant lands to XPLOR the wild existences
  • Play Hard in the different seasons that Mother Nature has given us
  • Yes we do it all and more!





Recurring Event Descriptions

We'll add to and update these descriptions as new ideas develop. If you've got an idea you'd like to see here, please let an organizer know or post about it in our message boards!



  • XPLORATIONS : XPLORATIONS are usually daytrips or short trips, or something part of a bigger longer trip. These usually are events like going to the museum, enjoying a fine wordly cuisine, a day out doing something new- could be xploring hockey, any outdoors adventure like : going underground or underwater into a cave, a dayhike through the woods and anything that our XPLORATION Organizers can conjure up.
  • XPEDITIONS : XPEDITIONS are multiday trips out to anywhere where it involves XPLORING many facets of the destination. An example of this could be mountain biking from coast to coast in Costa Rica, or XPLORING the many different ruins of the Angkor Temples, or backpacking Europe, or ice climbing Mt. Washington in the deadliest of winter.
  • TRAINING : There will be XPLORATIONS and XPEDITIONS in which we will need to prepare for. Training will be scheduled by your XPLORATION Organizers to prepare all of you. Make it a point to attend. Your XPLORATION Organizer worked hard to get you ready and it would be a great opportunity to meet everyone before the big day(s).
  • WORKSHOPS : There's always something new to learn! We'll have qualified instructors lead our workshops. Some examples of possible future clinics: DIY/MYO gear, navigation, tarp pitching, emergency shelter, LNT, hammock hanging, trail cooking, intro to overnighters, etc?
  • COMMUNITY/Giving Back : One of our biggest goals will be to help maintain the environment that we use the most, ie, trail systems. We'll work closely with local trail overseers on organized trail work trips and other community outreach opportunities.
  • Family & Friends Friendly : These XPLORATIONS will involve your family, children, grandparents, parents and your friends. They will be the less strenuous types of events that can involve everyone to have a great time.
  • XPLORER MEMBER RUN TRIP : These XPLORATIONS/XPEDITIONS are private trips that our fellow XPLORERS have called upon other XPLORERs to go off on their own. This is not an officially planned event, this is their wanting to go out and XPLOR and ADVENTUR because they love it!





So far, you like XPLOR ADVENTURS. You want to join us on our XPLORATIONS! But before joining XPLOR ADVENTURS, please read the following and read the Things you should know! page.



"Two roads diverged in the woods, and I?
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."

- Robert Frost

"The mountains are calling and I must go"
-John Muir

"Whatever happens, Don't fight the mountain!"
-Ben Stiller, Interview with Jay Leno on Mountain Biking at Night



A few notes:

XPLOR ADVENTURS...

  • is a GREEN club
  • is a Leave No Trace club
  • is a member driven community of XPLORERS and ADVENTURERS
  • is NOT a singles club/community
  • is NOT a beginners hiking group
  • must have a real photo of yourself, not a cartoon, animal or someone else's photo
  • Membership dues are $1.00 per XPLORATION from all XPLORERS or $25.00/year >>please read in the "Costs and Fees page"



Finally...

This club seeks an active membership, not those who want to lurk on a website. If your job, family or situation do not allow you the time to participate in the club at least once a month or so, then maybe one of the other area clubs would be a better choice. Members that become long-term inactive (usually over 3months) without expressing a reason to the club will be removed. Active members allow for a more enjoyable atmosphere for everyone. We may not be the largest group in the area, but we want to be the most dynamic, have the best activities, and of course, have the most fun!

Members must post a current, recognizable photo of themself on the profile and your first name. This is to aid in identification of members on XPLORATIONS. Members must also answer all of the profile questions. Do not expect your membership to be approved with an incomplete profile.

If this is what you want then c'mon in and join!
