CAB representative Nicole Martino said about the club: "Students, as well as myself, are always stoked to participate in the many different opportunities that the Weekend Warriors are able to provide. The organization is a great addition to the community. I look forward to the many other trips I will be able to partake in."
The club started off as just an idea in my head. With the help of our advisor, Dan Simmons, and fellow club members, our membership list has grown to more than 300 people. The main goals for the Weekend Warriors are to help students take risks and seek new friendships. The trips give students a chance to take a break from the constant stresses of classes and time to relax and enjoy a few hours away from campus with friends. Weekend Warriors allows members of the Drexel community a chance to increase their college experience by becoming involved with an organization and having a rewarding and memorable time.
We have numerous trips planned for the 2006-07 school year. In fact, we have already gone windsurfing in Atlantic City. There are several trips planned for the fall term: paintball, Oct. 14; Six Flags Fright Fest Oct. 28 and indoor rock climbing on Nov. 11. For winter term, we are in the planning stages of a three-night ski trip to Killington, Vermont, from Jan. 4-7, as well as several trips to Blue Mountain and Camelback. The spring term will consist of kayaking and canoeing, horseback riding, hiking, and rock climbing. The club will also be selling $10 long sleeve black shirts during trip ticket sales. The shirts have the club's logo on the back of the shirt, with the words "Drexel University Weekend Warriors" on the front.
