About Us...
History:
Adventure Team
was founded in 1996 by Travis Patterson as an adventure racing and extreme
sports club. Over the years it developed into more of an
outdoor adventure club offering various outdoor activities for
not only experts but beginners to intermediate levels. We
now offer structured and organized events for our members,
schools, churches, and corporate groups.
Mission:
To
provide an atmosphere of fun and adventure through preplanned
events, social interaction, education, and involvement of
developing the mind, body, and soul around outdoor activities in
order to relieve stress and promote camaraderie. To also
provide a venue for folks to become active inexpensively while
meeting other folks on their own schedule in accordance to the
20-30 pre-planned events on the Adventure Team calendar.
Discounts:
Each
activity that an Adventure Team member attends may have some
type of group discount. In many cases our events
have no cost but on the average if there is a cost involved.
Our
discounts range from 10% - 35% depending on the activity.

Membership
Card:
Each member will
have the ability to download their own personal membership card
that will allow them to receive discounts through various
merchants and outfitters throughout their established area.
The discounts will range from FREE to up to 20% depending on the
location.
Incentive
Program:
As an individual
signs up for Adventure Team they are designated with a ranking
called "Tenderfoot". As the member progresses and does
more events that ranking will change to "Explorer", to
"Adventurer", to "Expedition Team", to "Expedition Leader".
For each level that a member advances to they will receive a
gift from an Adventure Team decal to, Adventure Team T-shirts,
hats, and embroidered shirts. This gives a way for the
members to compete somewhat against one another are getting more
involved.
Monthly
Meetings:
Each month Adventure
Team has a general meeting on the
3rd Monday.
This is a time to get to meet some of the other members if you
are visiting or a guest. We also invite speakers to learn
about new and upcoming activities being added to the calendar
but also various educational speakers on body maintenance,
nutrition, and health care.
Other
offerings:
As well as monthly
physical activities, Adventure Team also hosts various
educational clinics to learn about the technical aspects to a
specific activity. For example:
Backpacking 101...how
to pack lighter on a camping/backpacking trip, what equipment to
take and how to use it most wisely.
Dutch Oven Cooking...learn how to cook nutritious and
good tasting meals on the trail.
Bike Maintenance 101...learn how to change a flat tire,
fix a broken chain, tighten a chain, lubrication of various
components, and preventative maintenance for a longer lasting
bike.
DEPOSITS &
PREPAYMENTS
Some events will require a prepayment or both a deposit and
prepayment to hold a member's spot for a particular activity.
In either regard there will be a 24 hour cancellation policy on
any activity, day trip or multi-day trip. A full refund
will be due if contacted prior to the 24 hours. If
contacted after the 24 hours the member will receive their
refund with a $5 late fee or if a deposit was required will lose
their deposit. If there is a sign up with a "NO SHOW", the
member will be responsible for the full amount of the event or
trip. If Adventure Team goes through
another vendor for a multi-day trip the vendor's refund and
cancellation policy will supersede this policy. We
also reserve the right to cancel any trip due to weather, water
conditions or the lack of sufficient reservations. A full refund
will be made for these reasons.
