Since 1911,
our private club which is open to new members of similar interests, has
been providing a hearth and home for those who have left the beaten
path and made for adventure.
As you
can see from the portraits to the right of some of our members both
past and present, we have had the privilege to be associated with some
of the world?s greatest adventurers and explorers.
From Presidents
to academics to scientists, explorers, military officers, treasure hunters,
museum curators and seekers of adventure for the sake of adventure,
The Adventurers Club was created for those few individuals that in the
words of Ralph Waldo Emerson "Do not go where the path may lead, (but)
go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."

Membership
in The Adventurers Club is open to men and women whose activities
the club considers adventuresome! In an attempt to put perspective on
on what we consider "adventurous" we have prepared this fairly
extensive, but certainly not complete, list of activities that are enjoyed
by our current members:
Racing
(boat, plane, car, horse, etc.), rock and ice Climbing, mountaineering,
travel to remote areas of the world not readily accessible by guided
tour, hunting and fishing, remote photography, white water rafting,
extended stay in remote areas (Peace Corps, wildlife experts,
ex-military), extended balloon or glider trips, sailboating, skydiving,
hang-gliding and kite surfing, SCUBA in remote areas or great depths,
environmental testing, space exploration, test pilots, ultra-light
pilots, survival gear field testing, treasure hunters spelunkers,
astronomers, astronauts (we take cosmonauts these days as well), extreme
sports enthusiasts, base jumping, adventure racing, mountain
Biking, orienteering, archaeologists, anthropologists, paleontologists,
zoologists, extreme skiing, snowboarding.
This list
is certainly not complete and prospective members with new approaches
to adventure are encouraged to apply. People with an adventurous
spirit who have not yet, but plan to (within 2-years) accomplish a challenging
adventure may also apply. Membership is never granted automatically...
but, only after careful consideration by the membership committee and
the Board of Directors. When
it comes to the sort of adventures that are enjoyed by our membership,
two phrases come to mind:
"There
is so much more to life if you ignore the rules and take chances"
and
"Try
not! Do or do not... there is no TRY"
