Have you ever wondered what it’s like to explore the hidden world beneath the earth? Join us for a beginner caving adventure and experience the excitement of underground exploration!
Explore the Underground
Beginner Caving is a great introduction for first-time cavers and anyone curious about exploring caves. This trip focuses on largely horizontal movement, including walking, stooping, and crawling through natural cave passages. No prior caving experience is required—just a willingness to get a little muddy and try something new!
Before entering the cave, our trip leaders will go over the basics of caving safety and techniques so you feel comfortable underground. During the trip, you’ll learn how cavers navigate through caves, how to move safely through passages, and some of the fascinating basics of limestone geology and cave formation.
Once inside, you’ll explore a beginner-friendly cave environment and see firsthand the unique features that make caves so incredible. It’s a great opportunity to challenge yourself, learn something new, and experience a side of nature that most people never see.
All you need to bring is clothing you don’t mind getting dirty, sturdy closed-toe shoes or boots with good traction, water, and a sense of adventure. Helmets and other required safety gear will be provided.
After you complete your registration, you will receive a confirmation email with additional event details and the meeting location. Please note that participants should be comfortable with moderate physical activity and small spaces.
2 miles of walking through forests and past outdoor sculpture. The path is paved with some hills. We will also tour the gallery.
Come join us for something new -- a multi-dimensional experience involving art and architecture, nature and exercise. Located in Potomac, MD, Glenstone is a private museum with an extensive collection of modern art and sculpture described on the website as “a space where you can slow down, be in nature, and engage directly with art.” We'll walk the trail through fields and forests to see large and impressive sculptures and also visit the gallery pavilions. We’ll have an opportunity to see a new exhibit of the works of artist and activist Andrea Bowers, whose multi-media work interweaves ecological concerns with the fight for bodily autonomy. We’ll also take a break and lunch at the café or outdoor patio.
After completing your registration, you will receive a confirmation email with additional event details and start location. If you don't see it, check your junk mail folder.
There is limited space, so please register early. Although this event is FREE for Members, you do need to register.
