Not sure what Community Adventures are or how they work? Interested in learning how to get and stay involved with the First Descents community in your area? Have a local hike or park you want to explore and want to invite along the FD community?
If you answered, yes, maybe or kinda to any of the above questions then join FDHQ staff member Andrew aka “Tops” on Thursday September 14th at 2pm ET for a midday info session on Community Adventures!
We’ll cover the basics of what Community Adventures are, how they work and why you should get involved! Plus we’ll touch on some of the cool stuff First Descents (FD) community members have been up to this year to help you brainstorm your next adventure.
Whether you’ve attended FD events already or it’s your first time joining anything FD, come hang during lunch and learn more about how you can get involved with FD!
