One of my favorite things about our wonderful city of Boston is the abundance of active adults…read more Every day, I see more people running, biking or playing sports per capita than I have anywhere else. I am always quick to applaud the city and surrounding towns (way to go Cambridge and Somerville) for the wealth of outdoor activities, both solo and team-related, available to residents. One of my favorite such Boston-based young-people-centric outdoor activities is my weekly WAKA game at Roberto Clemente Field in the Fens. My team, the Electric Mayhem, has been together for years in the Ironsides League (there are several leagues in town), and through it I have met some of the nicest and most fun folks you can hope for. If anyone ever thinks that it's hard to make new friends, sign up for a WAKA team and you'll have a dozen new ones after a day. The Ironsides League (and I hear the same about the other ones) is just competitive enough to be fun. Teams have a vested interest in winning and playing hard, but not so much of an interest that folks get disgusted and enraged after a loss. Everyone's there to just play and have a good time. The leagues are all well-managed and that management leads to the quality of organization and general spirit of WAKA in Boston. So yeah, in short, get some comfy sneakers on and get to the field. It's game time.

This is a new-comers dream come true. No one likes moving to a new city and feeling completely out…read moreof place. You don't know any one and you find yourself getting excited to do laundry on the weekends just to pass time and loneliness. Ok, I admit, that's slightly dramatic and maybe a bit true. I joined WAKA when my childhood friend moved into the city so she could meet people outside her grad school program. After trying another kickball league, I just didn't want to enroll in a free agent alone. The concept of adult kickball leagues is pretty standard, you play a game of kickball and then you head to a bar to drink. At a previous league, everyone hangs out only with their team mates and hardly any mingling happens between teams. It's quite the opposite with WAKA and I could give credit to the company but the people make the difference. If you're not a person that likes high energy or loud bars, you're best off never joining this league. You really have to be prepare for happy, excited and really fun people. Yes the teams can be very competitive on the field but you may also make friends for a lifetime. It's cheesy, but I've found it to be truth in the making.

Now they are profiting off of my cancellation because they have my money and are still able to sell my spot to somewhat else before the league starts.

SBS Varsity Card is probably the best addition in my wallet and my newest best friend…read more With my varsity card, I have been able to get discounts and/or free admissions to various SBS events such as the Whitewater Rafting trip, the Cinco (or Uno) de Mayo Party, the SBS Birthday party, and the upcoming "I'm on a Boat" party, as well as free drinks or complimentary appetizers during VIP hours. Also as a Varsity Card holder, I get special invitations to private parties with free access and even free drinks! If you play on a league, you receive 10% off your individual team fee. The card can also be used at various venues for no line/no cover access and 10 - 20 % discounts on foods and products. Additionally, the card already comes equipped with $25 from BuyYourFriendADrink.com to use at participating bars! The best part is that I only have to carry one card to get all these discounts and special access, all the while doubling as my BYFAD card. Just a Note: SBS also offers a JV card as well with similar discounts and access.

I first heard about Camp No Counselors when I came across an article about them while scrolling…read morethrough Facebook in 2015. I had just started dating my boyfriend (now husband!) and suggested that we go. While it sounded like the coolest and most fun experience ever, I didn't know what to expect. What I experienced at camp was incredible - fun, friendship, laughter, and an amazing sense of happiness. It truly made me feel like I a kid again, but you know, with an open bar! At camp, you can do anything you want and be whoever you want to be. They have campfires, theme parties, a color war, talent shows, boating, waterskiing, capture the flag, and an epic game of Slip and Flip (for those of you who don't know what that is, it's a slip and slide to a game of flip cup), and while I was skeptical of slip and sliding as an adult, I've finally embraced it and can't wait to play again. We've been to camp for the past three years, and I must say, I love it even more every year. I'm able to completely de-stress, unplug, and unwind, all while spending time with old friends and making new ones! I'm booked for camp this year and I absolutely cannot wait! I couldn't recommend this camp enough.

I attended the Boston Camp No Counselor weekend this past labor day weekend at Camp Caribou…read more I'd been debating attending a CNC weekend since I found out about it around the time of its inception. This year, myself and 3 friends pulled the trigger. CNCs description sounded like something out of your wildest dream. Reliving your youth and camping days while mixing in all of the fun aspects of being an adult, while leaving the boring parts behind. If you were like me, you had doubts. How could it live up? Will it fall short of expectations? Will the cabins suck? Will one bad apple ruin the weekend? What if it rains? Is it worth the money? The following are my honest answers... Yes! It lived up. I was completely impressed with the cabins. Large, clean, individual beds- not bunks, private bathrooms inside as well as a cabin house with toilets and showers. As for the people... 120 people, drinking, partying, playing sports, beer pong... And not one fight all weekend. Shocker right? Everyone was friendly and approachable. We made friends fast. CNC did a great job vetting for this camp. The NonCounselors deserve a special shout out. Jacob our director put on a great show. You know when someone just does a job... And then when someone lives for the job? These people lived it. They truly made the camp a great experience with the right level of order while allowing us plenty of freedom. Well now, what if it rains?... Well, it did. Sunday during our color war. We did it anyways... No one had any complaints. Still a great time and Blue took home the gold! Is it worth the money?... The amount of food, booze, and monster energy drinks we consumed this weekend was worth it alone.... Id hate to see that bar tab. As for the experience... I finally found something that made me forget about work for 3 days... It was a rule. The activities were great, wakeboarding on the lake, and dominating at dodgeball made for an exceptional time. An impromptu games of Kings in the cabin was a great way to break the ice. No one was shy or reserved. We all chatted and it was truly like being a kid again, which is what you'd hope for. In conclusion, The people who already made up their mind to go didnt need to read my review. If you are someone on the fence... I hope our experience helps you to make the decision. We'll be going again. I miss it already. Thanks to the CNC staff again, the camp staff at camp Caribou, and all of the people we met. Camp No Counselors is awesome!

Spee members are spicy, not bland. My memories of the Spee are hazy because I am usually inebriated when I visit this establishment, but I am pretty sure that you can prance around in circles on the second floor because all the rooms are 'walk-throughs.' This is key if you are put in that awkward situation where you are by yourself not talking to anyone, because you can go around in circles and pretend that you are looking for someone -- your cool friend. Five stars, without a doubt.
