THE SKI & SPORTS CLUB OF WASHINGTON, DC






    

GREAT SPORTS FOR ALL SEASONS

Welcome to the SCWDC Social Program

The Club's Cultural and Social Programs have been merged.  The Club also decided recently to make all ticketed events available to our members and guests at our discounted group rates, without any additional markup or administrative fees.  This will help to ensure that we offer the lowest possible ticket prices to our participants.

Join our social activities throughout the year for some fun and relaxation. We offer you warm camaraderie, not to mention the spirits you can enjoy while making new friendships at our happy hours. But be it hot, warm, cool or cold, the Social Program is ready to offer just the right activity to fit the climate and your needs.

Happy Hours: Every third Thursday of the month we get together at an area watering hole. Join us and meet new friends! Locations vary, nearly all are scheduled in Northern Virginia, from McLean, Tysons Corner, Fairfax, Springfield, Alexandria, & Arlington.  These are posted on the club Calendar.

Parties and Events: These usually include a summer picnic, one or more "Back to the Slopes" parties, and our annual Election Party. This November we will also offer a Volunteer Party to honor and reward the Club's leaders and volunteers. 

All of our event leaders listed under our various activities and programs are all people like you – really busy – but they are having fun meeting other people. They also need help! (Setting up and organizing prior to an event or the clean up afterwards .... think of it as a “mini tail gate” party!)  If a party is not your thing, consider leading a group to your favorite restaurant or in a book discussion.

    Our annual members' June picnic & party will be held at the Shipgarten, near Tysons Corner. Our event space is outdoors, in our private corner of the expansive grassy patio, under a private 900 sq. ft. event pavilion with picnic tables and umbrellas. We'll provide heavy hors d'oeuvres, buffet style, selected by our picnic crew, from each of the four Shipgarten food concepts.

    Drinks are not provided but are available for purchase at any of the four separate drink concepts/experiences, each out of a unique 40 ft shipping container. No outside food or drinks allowed.

    For fun and games, there are various lawn games. For dog owners, bring your pooch and enjoy the Dog Park (the shuttle bus even has doggy treats). For families with kids in tow, there is a Kids Playground. Situated upon a hilltop, we will get a gentle breeze and a wonderful skyline view of the McLean/Tysons cityscape.
