“My child loved learning how to put on gear and the basic skills—now he’s so excited to hit the mountain! Andrea connected with each child in a way they truly understood, and her interaction with both kids and parents made the whole experience great. Honestly, she was amazing. Johnnie loved it!”

About

My name is Andrea

— a mama to two little adventurers and the founder of Mama & Me Adventure Club. I started this club in 2022 to ease the loneliness of early motherhood and find a community that shares my love for the outdoors. What began as a personal search for connection has grown into something beautiful: a tribe of mamas exploring together, making memories, and supporting one another. With a background in group fitness, tour operations, and ski instruction, I bring experience, expertise, and enthusiasm to every outing. I believe in the healing power of nature, the magic of curiosity, and that friendship is not a luxury — it’s a lifeline. Through thoughtfully planned local adventures, I help moms connect, embrace the mess and magic of motherhood, and build lasting memories with their kids.
