Our signature, rolling enrollment leveled Adventure Manners courses are a great way to help you not only learn the foundational skills necessary for whatever adventures life has to offer, but to also always continue to grow and learn and achieve new goals. Each class session stands on its own, so they can be taken in any order!
You can either sign up for 1 session at a time or buy bundles of 4 or 6 at a time. Continue to come and learn new skills, take on new challenges, and your dog AND you will earn Merit Badges for your accomplishments along the way! As you advance through the courses and learn new skills, the open leveled classes will give you an opportunity to continue to learn with our trainers (and your peers!)
Classes are held at the Paws N Play Doggy Daycare on 562 Reed Road in Dartmouth (unless otherwise specified!)

Buzzards Bay Coalition Standard Adventure: Horseshoe Mill
2023-03-04 10:00 - 11:30 UTC | Horseshoe Mill, 1 Station St, Wareham, MA, 02571, United States
This session:
Horseshoe Mill

Horseshoe Mill is a recent trail in the Buzzards Bay Coalition repertoire, and is quite the hidden gem! It may seem to have a smaller footprint then our usual Bogs romp, however, Adventure Club has a nice figure 8 venture that adds some deceptive length as well as some interesting terrain. Come check it out!
*While our Standard Adventures are always free, we encourage you to donate here: https://www.savebuzzardsbay.org/take-action/donate…
**Adventures are typically held rain or shine. Please check Facebook, Instagram and emails for severe weather cancellations.**

Standard Adventure: Copicut Wildlife Management Area/ Fire Tower Trail
2023-03-12 09:30 - 11:30 UTC | Copicut Woods, 41.709175, -71.065560
This session:
Copicut Wildlife Management Area/ Fire Tower Trail
Simply labeling this Adventure “Copicut Woods” doesn’t quite do this justice, as very little time is actually spent in “Copicut Woods!” OutHounds Adventures have scouted out a couple of “off the beaten path” trails in recent sessions out this way, which we think are very much in the spirit of ADVENTURE! If you have ever wondered, “I wonder where that goes?” come join OutHounds Adventure Club–chances are, we know! This a great trail for just getting yourself (and your dog!) OUT and reconnecting with nature. What better way to spend a morning? Expect about 4-5 miles of hiking on our standard adventure!
**Adventures are typically held rain or shine. Please check Facebook, Instagram and emails for severe weather cancellations.**
Terrain: Varied Terrain. Mostly flat with some steep inclines. Can be rocky and uneven, with some precarious stream crossings.
You need: Proper footwear. There is hunting allowed in this area, bright colors highly recommended. Water and a snack.
Your Dog needs: Properly fitting harness, water and snacks.
Parking: Dirt lot.

Directions: https://goo.gl/maps/6Ze4QcNKPMJ8ikn17
(PLEASE NOTE–the GPS may want to send you to the REED ROAD exit. You do NOT need to take this way–it is an unmaintained dirt road! It is best to get off at White’s of Westport Exit. Your car’s path will be paved!)

Standard Adventure: Massasoit State Park
2023-03-18 09:30 - 11:30 (America/New_York) | Massasoit State Park, 41.881781, -70.992235
This session:
Massasoit State Park
Massasoit State Park holds a special place in our Adventure Club hearts; being the site of our first extended adventure. With horses to boot! This park boasts varied terrain and some steep elevation shifts in places, along with spectacular views of Lake Rico and couple other small bodies of water. Expect about 4-5 miles of hiking on our standard adventure!
**Adventures are typically held rain or shine. Please check Facebook, Instagram and emails for severe weather cancellations.**
Terrain: Rocky and rooted, some steeper inclines
You need: Proper footwear. Water and a snack.
Your Dog needs: Properly fitting harness, water and snacks.

DNRT Standard Adventure: Destruction Brook
2023-03-19 09:30 - 11:30 UTC | Destruction Brook Lot, Slades Corner Rd, Dartmouth, MA, 02748, United States
This session:
Destruction Brook
Destruction Brook is certainly a popular and highly trafficked Dartmouth Natural Resource Trust gem with rocky and root covered paths and a few steep (yet quick) inclines. However, more than the terrain, navigating such a popular destination poses a whole different challenge for our Adventurers (2-legged and 4-legged OutHounds alike!) Let OutHounds Adventure Club help guide you on a safe and fun journey for all! Expect about 4-5 miles of hiking on our standard adventure!
*While our Standard Adventures are always free, we encourage you to SUPPORT our land trusts by considering making a donation here: https://dnrt.org/donate/
**Adventures are held rain or shine.**
Terrain: Mostly flat, some inclines and varied terrain

You need: Proper footwear. Water and a snack.
Your Dog needs: Properly fitting harness, water and snacks.
Parking: Dirt lot. / Large shoulder Street side if on Northeast entrance.

Queer Hikes Adventure: Simmons Pond
2023-03-26 10:00 - 12:00 UTC | Simmons Pond, 212 Coldbrook Rd, Little Compton, RI, 02837, United States
This session:
Simmons Pond

Queer Hikes and OutHounds Adventures will be collaborating for monthly hikes at the end of every month! Join us for one of our favorites, Simmon’s Pond in Little Compton, RI.

Simmons Pond is certainly one of OHAC’s favorite Adventures. We suppose any tenderly cared for oasis that boasts tree cookies, 30 hidden birdhouses, trail magic, history lessons, and a sense of deep pride in a community’s land trust is worthy of “favorite” designation! Path’s here are wide and welcoming with minimal inclines. Parts of the trail can get not only muddy, but completely flooded–although this tends to be a Springtime occurrence. Expect about 4-5 miles of hiking on our standard adventure!

**Adventures are held rain or shine.**
Terrain: Mostly flat

You need: Proper footwear. Water and a snack.
Your Dog needs: Properly fitting harness, water and snacks.
Parking: Dirt lot.
