In 1922, a local sports enthusiast by the name of Fred Harris founded the Brattleboro Outing Club with one mission in mind: to encourage and promote greater community participation in outdoor sports and activities. Today, the Brattleboro Outing Club is one of the country’s oldest outdoor sports civic associations and hosts regular events and activities throughout the year. The club focuses on four distinct outdoor activities in particular: tennis, rowing, cross-country skiing, and paddling. Guests to the club can enjoy the use of six exceptionally maintained red clay tennis courts or try their hand at rowing down the West and Connecticut Rivers on club-owned rowing boats or participate in group kayaking or canoeing trips. In the winter, the club also offers skiing and snowshoeing activities along many miles of breathtaking trails. Each program is situated at different locations throughout the city while their activities can be booked ahead of time. Phone: 802-246-7843
