What is a common phrase you hear amongst Goombay campers, hikers/backpackers and kickball enthusiast? IT'S A VIBE! I started hiking with Goombay in 2023 and years later I feel like I've found my tribe. I scrolled through pictures to share and in just 1 year I have participated in hiking, camping, skying, kickball, dodgeball, adult field day and game nights. We're off to Jamaica soon as well. The adventures go on! Out of these activities I have met life long friends. I look forward to each camping trip like a kid going off to camp. read more

Goombay activities are always fun and we'll organized. The crew is very supportive and do a great job at communicating.

To me Goombay Adventures equals a really great time with like minded people. People who want to help you thrive in nature, people who want you to experience the joy that nature brings. If you are stressed during the work week and want a quick getaway, with no phones, no noise, no interruptions. Goombay Adventures is where it is at. read more

After relocating to the DMV I was looking for cool and interesting ways to stay active and stumbled upon goombay. Since 2019 I've been involved in their womens and coed volleyball leagues and last year got involved in several of their kickball leagues and tournaments. The staff is super helpful and friendly and are always encouraging new players to come out and learn. Plus they always have a good time. read more

I love GooMbay Adventures! When I first moved to the area in 201..., this community is how I made new connections and explored the area. James "butch" is the fearless leader and very experienced at what he does.I've played kickball , hiked with the crew, went to Deep creek, and went tubing. He is always willing to collaborate on events and trips. His website is well organized and functional for registering and updates. He hires amazing hike and group leaders for events. read more

I LOVE the outdoors. For most of my life I've been "token Black Guy" as I didn't find my outdoor Tribe. Then I found Goombay and I haven't experienced my love of the fresh air the same. Hiking, Camping, fishing, white water rafting, just to name a few of my faves! Everyone in this group is so welcoming, open, fun, and giving! I'll never go back to being "the Black friend" again! read more

I would recommend Goombay Adventurers. Butch, Kandy and Porsche were accommodating and fun. I attended the Caribbean Wine Festival Bus Trip in May. The ride was well organized and comfortable. There was a group chat for many attendees to communicate and ask questions. We were able to bring food, chairs, tents and drinks. It was spacious. The also had tents already set up for our trip. The meeting location was centrally located and safe (about 1 hour from PG County drop off). On the way up to Linganore we stopped at a Food Lion to pick up a few goods. When we arrived at the festival, we received our wristbands and were able to enjoy the festival. We left around 630 pm to head back to our pickup location. The price was worth it for a full day of dancing and meeting new people. If you are looking for a group to travel with this is a good option. I look forward to another adventure. read more

My friends and I have been attending and making memories at Goombay Events since the late 90's. We've attended Wine Festivals, Ski-Trips, Cookouts, etc. throughout the years. Every event has been well planned and safe. Here in the DMV we know a Goombay Event is going to be a "funky, good time". Thank you, Butch and Team! read more

Best kickball league in the DMV area. Competitive, Fun, and you meet a lot of nice people.

Great day of hiking at Old Rag offered by Goombay Adventures. Kay and Duane were excellent hike leaders keeping everyone motivated and safe. And it was great connecting with the other hikers and overcoming the "rock climb" challenges together as a group. Looking forward to other Goombay Adventures! read more

I have joined Goombay for several hikes and a tubing experience. I have had a blast each time and always felt I was in great hands. For far away hikes, Goombay gives you an option to meet at a close by location and get transported to the hike trail- this is much appreciated. I most recently embarked on my most challenging hike thus far with Goombay- Old Rag Mountain. This was a very strenuous hike, but I felt supported and safe throughout. The hike leaders Duane and Kat were knowledgeable, experienced and just overall exceptional; I highly recommend joining Goombay for future adventures that suit your interests; you will not be disappointed. read more

Been an active member of the Goombay Adventurers for just under a year and Im so thankful for the experiences and connections I've made. From kickball to beach camping to hiking.... Goombay has challenged me to step out of my comfort zone and try so many fun and exciting activities. Goombay Founder Butch has such a welcoming personality that any first timer would be comfortable participating in a Goombay activity. Highly recommend people of all ages to give this group a try. You won't regret it. read more

Goombay provides a multitude of opportunities for Black people to come together, socialize, be active, have fun, kickback and enjoy one another. I joined a co-ed team in Goombay's kickball league. First sport of my adulthood. I enjoyed it immensely. Met new people and instantly made some really great friends. This past weekend, I went camping for the first time in over 20 years with Goombay. Despite the rain, we had an amazing time. Pool party, sunrise yoga, pajama party, glow bonfire, camp wars, just a fun-filled weekend. Looking forward to the next adventure with Goombay. read more

Awesome group-great camaraderie. Went beaching camping at Assateague with Goombay Adventurers. Got there late in the evening, immediately people jumped in to help me unload and get my site setup before dark.

I plan to attend this spring camping event every year in addition to other exciting outdoor activities -Deep creek and hammock camping. read more

Been rocking with Goombay since at least 2011- bottom line upfront is that this organization specializes in creating a safe space for melanated folks to have fun in a social environment.

Great people Great experience! Want to have childhood fun as an adult.

I was introduced to this group through kickball and I'm so glad I joined! This is an excellent Adventure group, that has provided me the opportunity to try some things I wouldn't have before. I went on my first (and second) REAL backpacking/camping trip this year. I would have never thought I could do anything remotely close to this, but I did and loved every second of it! We even cooked over a fire, and even went white water rafting! Butch is an excellent leader and very knowledgeable of all things outdoors. I've also met a lot of adventurous people like myself, so it's an all-around great time! I definitely recommend everyone expands their horizons and try something new....starting here!! read more

What a great company. I have done lots of events with them within the last year such as kickball, volleyball, camping and most recently dodgeball.

I would highly recommend them if you are looking for your next exciting adventure. read more
