FAQ

What are the adventures?

Our activities change daily but can include hiking, tree climbing, swimming,  canoeing and more. We go to cafes and parks for art making, yoga, music and creative discussions. We have a community garden plot that we tend.  Sometimes we work on improvisational acting, story telling and making films together. The participants are encouraged to suggest adventures and are invited to help lead them.

Who leads the adventures?

Our Guides work in rotation through most groups. All are highly qualified, experienced and mindful leaders.  Together the team has over 90 years of combined guiding experience, which means we’ve all been guiding for many years.   All the Guides are adventurous, college educated and CPR/First Aid certified....and know how to help people have a great time every session!

Who can attend Adventure Club SLO?

As of Spring 2024 we are happy to announce that we are opening to all adventurous people ages 5 and up! Contact the Director. 

When are sessions?

 Our groups meet Monday-Friday. We have am and pm groups.  People join a regularly scheduled group and attend weekly.  Some people attend multiple times per week.

What about transportation and weather?

People need to be able to get themselves to the meet up locations, both of which are located near bus stops. ACSLO does not provide door to door transportation.

Some groups do not have any transportation offered because we have only one van. Our youth programs and the Women’s AC programs require that people get rides to the adventure locations, which change weekly.

We run sessions all year long, rain or shine. We have lots of fun in the weather when we are prepared...and when we aren't! We provide participants an extensive gear list so that people can get themselves ready for groups.

Is ACSLO a “Social/Recreation” program?

Yes, but we do more than provide outings for people. We carefully work on clearly defined goals and assist participants with the subtle work of social interaction and nature connection. Progress is reviewed regularly.

Does ACSLO cost money to attend?

Yes. Some people pay privately. People served by the Regional Center can attend free of charge with approval by the TCRC team.

Is ACSLO affiliated with any other companies? 

Nope,  We remain a small but mighty organization. For the last decade ACSLO has helped hundreds of people to connect with nature and to discover their inner adventurous and creative selves.  Adventure Club SLO remains the original and the best at what we do and is leading the charge towards innovative and nature connected services in SLO county and beyond.
