The Adventure Club provides opportunities for women and girls of all ages, sizes, shapes and abilities to gather together and challenge themselves physically by experiencing a variety of sports and activities, including kayaking, yoga, surfing, golf, basketball, belly dancing, kickboxing and more, in an encouraging, women-only environment. We also lead hikes in the beautiful Santa Barbara foothills for trekkers of all levels. Expert community volunteers provide instruction for these low-cost programs.
