The Adventurers’ Club of Los Angeles® traces its roots to a 1908 meeting between Teddy Roosevelt and friends in New York. The Los Angeles chapter of the club was founded by Captain Jack Roulac in 1921 and was incorporated in 1922. It is dedicated to promoting the exchange and dissemination of knowledge between those who have had adventures off the beaten path.
Since its founding, the club has met nearly every week to share stories of unique and exotic adventures. Our members have traveled from the ocean’s greatest depths to outer space and everywhere between. Whether trekking across Death Valley, climbing the Himalayas, diving the Arctic and Antarctic or sailing the worlds waterways – land, sea, air, and beyond, members of the Adventurers’ Club share a common goal. They leave the beaten path to explore our universe and return to share their stories.
The club headquarters in Los Angeles is home to many artifacts and pieces of history collected by club members from all over the globe, commemorating their expeditions to every far-flung corner of the planet on which we live.
The club provides fantastic educational programs every Thursday night. Guests are welcomed to share our camaraderie and programs. The Adventurers’ Club of Los Angeles has always attracted the best and the brightest of the world’s most adventurous spirits.
