WHAT WE DO

Adventure-Us is a private social club for adults who are done with awkward networking, flaky plans, and surface-level connections.

We bring together people from different professions to build real friendships through shared adventures — from outdoor experiences to intentional gatherings designed to actually go somewhere.

This isn’t about collecting contacts or showing up once and disappearing.
It’s about building a social circle where people
show up, follow through, and stay engaged.

Who It’s For

Adults in their 30s–60s who value depth over volume

Professionals who want friendships, not networking

People who enjoy adventure and meaningful conversation

Those who are tired of flaky plans, ghosting, and surface-level interactions

Individuals who believe relationships require intention, not chance

If you’re just here to dip a toe in, start with Free.
If you want real connection, the paid experience is where it happens.

FAQs

Trying something new — especially a social community — usually comes with a lot of practical questions. Where are events held? Who joins? What does membership include? Will I actually fit in?

Below you’ll find clear answers about how Adventure-Us works, what kinds of experiences we plan, how membership and travel operate, and what to expect when you participate. The goal is simple: remove uncertainty so you can decide with confidence whether this is the right place for you to build friendships and shared experiences.

If you’re wondering about something not listed here, reach out. We’re happy to help you get a feel for the community before you join.

Where is Adventure-Us located?

We are currently piloting in Baltimore, Maryland, but have plans to expand to other major metropolitan areas. Most in-person events are in the Baltimore area including Washington D.C. and surrounding states.

We do also offer a virtual and travel-only membership for those who live too far away to participate in our Baltimore-based events. We host virtual events including game nights, cocktail parties, murder mysteries, etc. to help members get to know one another before meeting in person on trips. We have a travel agent who helps coordinate departures from different cities.

What types of events and activities do you schedule?

The sky’s the limit! One benefit of being a member is having a say in what we plan for the future. If you have a particular activity, venue, or destination in mind, suggest it to the group! If enough people are interested, we will make it happen!


In general, though, we plan a mix of large and small, public and private, adventurous and sedate, general interest and narrow niche events which reflect the interests of the group and its individual members. Check out our calendar on the home page to get an idea of the types of events we’re hosting this month, or better yet, take advantage of the free trial and see what’s scheduled further out. Just be aware that only big trips and recurring events are planned far in advance. We are nimble and responsive to our membership, and we announce new events as they get scheduled instead of dropping an entire month of events at a time.

Are events included in the membership?

Your monthly subscription gives you access to the Adventure-Us community and the ability to attend any of our events. Some events are free, public events which anyone can attend, but others are ticketed, private, or special events which are only available to members. For instance, Game Night is always free and open to the public because the more the merrier! In contrast, international travel is only available to members, and members will pay individually for the trip since they may be coming from different cities.


Ticketed events will typically be billed at the time you RSVP using the same payment method you use for membership. Trips will typically be booked and paid through our travel agent to ensure we all take advantage of group rates, special packages, and perks. For other events, you may pay at the door or reimburse the host for a split bill (e.g. dinner checks) via Venmo or PayPal.

What trips do you have scheduled for 2026?

We plan approximately 4 larger trips per year and mix domestic and foreign travel. We have tentative plans for the following destinations, but dates and prices are not yet set:

Niagara Falls and Buffalo, NY (June)—This will be a road trip over a long weekend with plenty of time to get to know each other on the drive.  We’ll see the Falls, of course, but also on the docket are some architecture tours, live music at a street festival, paddleboats on Hoyt Lake, and amazing food!

New York City, New York (September/October)—This quick overnight trip is for theater lovers. We plan to see Hamilton and Wicked on Broadway, but there will also be free time to explore the city.

International destinations under consideration for 2026 include Greece, New Zealand, Spain, Thailand, and Puerto Rico.

Is this group only for singles or a specific age group?

Nope! Cool is cool, no matter your age or relationship status. If you are a mature adult with good conversation, please join! Most members tend to be in their 30s and 40s, but personality and participation are MUCH more important determinants of whether we’re a good fit. As long as you come with a willing heart, you’ll feel welcome with us.

Why is membership so inexpensive?

Our founder has a real passion for hosting events, building communities, and networking. The monthly membership fee is low enough that anyone can join, but high enough to ensure that people who sign up will show up. The goal is to make Adventure-Us accessible to anyone who wants to find real friends based on shared experiences. We provide a wide range of activities at several price points so there is something here for everyone.

Do I have to sign a contract?

No, membership is month-to-month and can be cancelled by you at any time. However, you do need to be a member in good standing to attend a ticketed or private event. If you do decide to cancel, your membership will continue to be active through the end of the billing period (no pro-rata refunds).

What if I can't RSVP for an event because it's sold out?

Tell us. In some cases, we may be able to add more capacity (e.g. more tables at a restaurant) or repeat the event another time (e.g. classes). For seasonal or limited events, it may not be possible. We do listen to our members and accommodate reasonable requests whenever we can.
