Activities

Join us for Adventuring’s first ever PRE-Summer Picnic! We've decided it's just too hot in late July for picnics, so we're moving this annual event to May.

This is a great place for newcomers to meet. For those interested, there will be an optional hike.

Who Can Attend

All members! Doesn’t matter if you haven’t hiked with us before, or have only attended a few events – come get to know us, and tell us what you’d like to see with Adventuring.

Cost

$10 per person

What to contribute

• A savory side dish or yummy dessert
• If you have a particular item in mind – bring it!
• If you prefer guidance, email us and we'll assign you an item: adventuringlgbtq@gmail.com
• Adventuring provides hamburgers, hot dogs, veggie burgers, chips, dips, water, soda, and ice

RSVP Deadline

Please RSVP via Meetup by 5 pm on Wednesday, May 14

Directions

• Driving/biking: enter ‘Rock Creek Park Site 001’ into Google Maps
• For those who prefer narrative directions:
From Connecticut Ave/Tilden Street: As soon as Tilden changes from a divided to undivided road, take a right into the parking lot
From Mt Pleasant/Park Road: After crossing the bridge over Rock Creek, pass Pierce Mill on your right, then turn left into the parking lot
Via Red Line: Once at either Van Ness or Cleveland Park station, it’s about a 20-minute hike to the grove using either Tilden Street or the Melvin Hazen Trail
