2024 Summer Picnic 

Ski trips, Adventure Travel Trips, and Sports and Recreation Trips - meet your leaders

Saturday, June 22, 2024 - 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM

Our annual members' June picnic & party will be held at the Shipgarten (the updated version of the former Tysons Biergarten, same owner). Our event space is outdoors, in our own private corner of the expansive grassy patio, under a private 900 sq. ft. event pavilion. There are picnic tables with umbrellas too. 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 their own 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.

This year we will have a nominal fee of $10 (members) to cover the cost "Rain or Shine", no refunds.  Non-members are also welcome to attend for $15.  Registration and payment must be in advance and due by 12 noon on Friday, June 21.  This will allow us to order the correct amount of food, beverages, and supplies.
