inspired to do more
Anyone Can Adventure is a club rooted in the idea that adventures should be open to all and tailored to individual interests. We go beyond the traditional collegiate scene to build a community of people from all avenues of life that share a passion for travel and exploration. Our mission is to connect like minded people through travel and outdoor adventures. The ski mountains were our starting passion, and we want others to experience our love for it too. As our community grows, we will continue to craft different adventures for our members.
this is our story
Anyone Can Adventure, originally known as Akron Cleveland Ski Club, was put together by a small group of college alumni and students passionate about skiing and snowboarding. Our goal has always been to create affordable trips that appeal to and include those outside a college campus, which is why we chose to not be affiliated with any college or university. Planning large group ski trips is nothing new for Anyone Can Adventure, the founder has been leading different ski clubs since 2014!
We aren't some massive cooperation. Just a few folks passionate for the mountains, wanting to start a club that makes the experience affordable for the masses. Let's take skiing back to its roots. We're all about affordability and getting as many runs in as possible. Skiing is meant for everyone!
Since that original transition in 2021, we have been able to grow our community both on and off campus, providing us with the opportunity to expand our offerings for our members. We’re proud of all we’ve accomplished thus far, thankful for everyone who’s been part of the journey, and excited for all the future experiences we will build together.
