Adventuring Pre-Summer Picnic 2026

Join us for Adventuring’s second 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. We’re trying something new this year: Instead of a potluck, we are asking everyone to bring your own lunch.

There is no charge this year for attending. We’ll be providing water, iced tea and desserts. We’ll also have an optional hike or two, plus a few games.

It 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!

Please RSVP via Meetup by 5 pm on Wednesday, May 14, so we can plan for the numbers.

Location:
Rock Creek Park at Picnic Grove #1
Shoemaker St NW, DC
(just off of Beach Drive and across the road from Pierce Mill)

Directions:
• Driving/biking: enter ‘Rock Creek Park Picnic Grove #1’ 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.
