Sometimes activities require a group to complete, and that is exactly one of the advantages of being a part of E&A! Bubble Soccer, new to the Twin Cities, and Indoor Paintball are just two examples of this "group thing"! Sure, you could probably show up at one of these venues and join a game with people you don't know, or wait for a group with an opening, but why do that when all you have to do is show up, have it all set up for you, meet a bunch of new people, get your equipment on and PLAY! Trying something new is just one of the great things you get to do by being a part of E&A!

Setting up the nets for our grass court, tossing the ball around, staking out the court lines, and getting a game going! You can go barefoot or wear tennis shoes, but no matter what you decide, we are all out to have a great time! Skills of any level are invited to play, because that's what we do! In E&A everyone has a different personality, background, attitude and athleticism, so with volleyball, we can all come together as a team for a little friendly competition! Join us on Wednesdays throughout the month of June! Events And Adventures Minneapolis
Another new adventure is
our Indoor Rock Climbing event. Some brand new climbers just wanting to try to tackle the wall along with some veteran climbers who do it on a weekly basis! Both had a great time teaching and learning from one another and the responses I heard after the event were exciting! I love hearing the enthusiasm from people trying something new... because I remember clearly when my first opportunity was to climb that vertical wall... but as soon as you reach the top, you have a brand new sense of confidence... something you thought you couldn't do, just because you haven't tried it before... it's like eating liver, right? People say they don't like it, BUT have they ever tried it?? (I still don't recommend it, just saying!) So here's to the ones who have conquered their fears this week and taught themselves a little bit about themselves! Rock on! Events And Adventures Minneapolis
After loading up our cars and heading towards the Dells, we were more than anxious to get there. Upon arrival, some members had already arrived and staked out their space for their tent to be set up... some already had a beer cracked enjoying the sunshine and to kick off the weekend! As we got the main canopy set up and all of our supplies unloaded, it was time to get to our own tents... but wait! Some super nice guys have already started on mine! I guess it pays to be "the boss"! Haha As more and more people arrived, we helped them find their perfect place to set up a tent, then assisted in set up as needed. After the chatter and laughing began to rise, it was time to head up to the restaurant for some fish fry! As we sat on the patio eating dinner, we looked down the table at our fellow E&A-er's that were all ready for a fun weekend! When we got back to the campsite, the bonfire was already burning and people were already gathered around, pulling up their camping chairs, grabbing their coolers... and I thought it was a perfect time to whip out the smores: Marshmallows, chocolate bars, graham crackers, rolos, fudge stripe cookies, oreos, etc... have you ever stuck a rolo inside a marshmallow before you roast it? The best thing ever! And as the night lingered on, so did the campers... laughing, playing cards, beer pong, stories around the fire and more... as everyone started to awake the next morning, we started breakfast and got on with our day of hiking and a jetboat tour. That night, we all returned from our activities and gathered for dinner. More bonfire and laughing followed and continued until the wee hours of the morning. Another hearty breakfast on Sunday, followed by the Riverwalk and Ziplining... and wow!! Was that fun! Another check off the bucketlist for me! As we returned to our final dinner of the weekend, some were already dreading having to leave the next morning... I know I was!! But as we packed up that Monday morning and we said our goodbyes and gave hugs all around... we were left to our thoughts of what a great weekend we had as we drove home... but not to worry! Labor Day weekend is only a couple months away and we will see everyone again! Events And Adventures Minneapolis
