History
The OAC began in June of 1996 when its founder was laid off from the high tech world. After spending long days working in front of the computer, she decided it was time to have some outdoor fun! She started looking for a local club that wasn't a singles club and offered more than just hiking and cycling. She couldn't find one, so she teamed up with Richard and the Outdoor Adventure Club was born! Since then we've traveled the world, climbed some of the highest mountains, hiked some of the most beautiful trails, and rafted and kayaked some awesome rivers. But more important than all the great places we've been, is the great people we've met along the way.
Specialties
The Outdoor Adventure Club is a mix of professional guide service, adventure travel company and social club. Unlike a traditional guide service, we organize dozens of different outdoor adventure events. We offer rock climbing, backpacking, hiking, mountain biking, rafting, kayaking, surfing and more! Unlike a social club we are a professional, insured guide service. Our trip leaders are trained professionals, more than just a friendly face who's done it a few times. Unlike a traditional adventure travel company, we fill our trips primarily with people from the Bay Area and surrounding Northern California area. You'll be able to meet the people on your OAC international trip before and after your trip. Friendships formed on OAC trips can last a lifetime! Our Mission: To provide professionally guided outdoor activites in fun, social groups, while promoting an awareness and appreciation for the outdoor world.
