What we’re about
I started this group to find other African Americans who want more outdoor adventures such as hiking, zip lining, horseback riding, whitewater rafting, bike riding, sailing, hot air balloon rides, bi-plane rides, overnight camp outs, weekend getaways and more. The purpose is to bring together men and women who want to escape the daily humdrum and replace it with some fun, excitement and sometimes new and challenging experiences that are exhilarating, leaving you with lifetime memories. Our adventures will also help build your confidence, help you get or stay fit and healthy, all with a group of friendly and supportive people. The African American Adventurers is for you if you are black and ready to live life to it's fullest! Join us today...

My father is a great tennis player and can teach us a few lessons while also getting in a nice workout (he speaks low so get close to him and ask him to repeat himself if you cannot hear him). His name is James and he is very nice :)
Please bring your own tennis racquet, tennis shoes, wear sporty clothing, bring a towel, A LOT of water, A LOT of ice. I will also have you all running. If you hit the ball into the net you will have to get the ball and pass it along to your partner and then run back to the base line within five seconds. I will tell you what the base line is. No more than TWO bounces to hit the ball, if you let it bounce three or more times then you have to do five push ups & run and get all the other balls that are around the court :) Sweat it out!!!!
Please no dogs or children under 18. If you are running late please put that in the event chat and/ or comments
