Adventure Club

Life’s an Adventure; Join the Club!

What is OutHounds Adventure Club?

Adventure Club is MORE than a hiking group. Although we are based out of New Bedford, MA, we travel all over Southern New England in search of adventure! We are a community of people and canine companions who through curated outings help each other by completing tasks and overcoming obstacles along the way. Our Adventure Guides scout trails from Providence, RI to Cape Cod, MA, create programs, and help guide Adventurers to see their world with FRESH eyes and an OPEN heart. In the spirit of Adventure Learning, we assist and encourage one another to try new things and take acceptable risks. Our marquee Adventures help foster a love and appreciation for the natural environment and thus a desire to enact positive change!

Who is it for? What if I don’t have a dog?

Simply put; OutHounds Adventures is for EVERYONE! We welcome people with dogs; we welcome people without dogs. We welcome all ages and skill levels. As long as you want to GET UP and GET OUT and rediscover your inner child, OHAC is for YOU!

When Signing up for an Adventure, check the description and the coded difficulty level to be sure to pick an Adventure that is right for you!

Community Adventures

Community Adventures typically range between an hour to three hours in length, depending on the intensity and location of where we go! We often partner with our friends at various land trusts such as the DNRT or Buzzard's Bay Coalition. And, as always, these events are FREE!

Chartered Adventures

Let OutHounds Adventures be your personal guide! Either choose a location, or let us help you decide. Gather some of your trail buddies (and dogs!) and we'll lead the way! Contact us for more details!

No Dog? No Problem!

OHAC encourages participation of families who might not have a canine companion. If you enjoy being with dogs and want to enjoy a guided adventure with the company of others we would love to have you!

Training Adventure

Are you afraid that your dog won't "cut it" in the typical adventure environment? Don't worry!
