SNOWMOBILING DAY TRIP

No experience is necessary to go on this adrenaline packed day trip, and there are a number of options to explore on the 62 acres of terrain - including racetracks, backwoods and open fields. If you are having trouble deciding whether or not to sign up, ask yourself, What would James Bond do? However, as it is likely that you are in fact, not James Bond, it is recommended that you do not consume alcohol prior to operating one of these machines.

WINTER SKYDIVING

Sick of a boring existence on the ground? Think a little free fall would help perk up your day? The Adventure Society has just what you're looking for. Jump from 13,500 feet and view sights such as the Poconos and the Delaware Water Gap (if you keep your eyes open, that is). Don't worry, it's a tandem effort, meaning you will be strapped to someone who actually knows when to release the parachute. Transportation is provided from midtown.

HORSEBACK RIDE AND SPA

Spend some time seeing the wilderness on horseback, and then get all the soreness rubbed out with spa treatments. The Adventure Society presents this excellent combination for your pleasure. Packages range from $125 for a simple ride , transportation and use of facilities up to $255 for all of the above plus various massage options.

ICE CLIMBING

The Adventure Society wants you to join this trip, which explores some of the greatest ice climbing in the region. Don't worry: For those who don't feel quite like Sly Stallone in Cliffhanger, there are plenty of beginner paths as well. A four-to-one adventurer-to-guide ration will ensure that everyone remains safe.

SNOWSHOEING

The Adventure Society invites you to participate in a little snowshoe action. This level one trip is for people new to the sport, but more experienced persons are also encouraged to sign up. The top price includes trail fee, snowshoe rental and poles. An experienced guide will be provided so you don't get lost. Only 13 spots are available so sign up ASAP.

YOGA & SPA URBAN RETREAT: RELAX & REJUVENATE

Cramming yourself into a crowded shopping mall to fight over holiday gifts doesn't sound appealing to you? Let the Adventure Society lead you into this retreat. The afternoon begins with a 60-mintue beginner/intermediate yoga class, then offers one of seven treatments, including cranio-sacral, shiatsu, hot-stone, or Thai massage. Wine, cheese and crackers will be on hand to round out the blissful experience.

PAINTBALL

Head upstate with the Adventure Society to a paintball site with more than 700 acres of terrain where you can pretend to shoot your friends. Woohoo!

HORSEBACK APPLE & PUMPKIN AND WINE

A day spent wine tasting, apple and pumpkin picking, and horseback riding can lure even the most concrete-loving city dweller out of the city. And on this day long excursion, which stops by a 2,400 acre wildlife preserve and a small local farm, you'll also get to see beautiful fall foliage. Riding groups are broken into beginner, intermediate and advanced, so don't fret if you're not exactly Zorro in the saddle.

MINNEWASKA HIKE AND WINE TASTING

If your daily hike through the city is getting you down, perhaps it's time to get out of the concrete jungle and into nature. This beginner-level hike in the Hudson Valley promises scenic views of lakes and forest wildlife. After soaking up the crisp fall air, dig into a hearty local meal and take a detour to a local winery, where you'll sample New York varietals - by then you might be ready to return to urban trekking.

SAIL AWAY

Adventure Society is offering sailing-certification classes, in which you learn the ropes so you can sail on your own. You can sign up for a weekend or evening series course that takes place at these four locations: Downtown Manhattan, Pier 40, Hoboken, NJ and Jersey City, NJ.

LABOR DAY WEEKEND IN NANTUCKET

Those looking to spend the weekend away from home - but dreading the laborious trappings of travel arrangements and to-do lists - might appreciate this trip to New England's famous isle. It's all planned out: The itinerary includes options biking, kayaking and sailing adventures, afternoons at to glittery beaches and bike tours. Toss in a choice of one of ten rooms in a Victorian home in town and you're all set for what could be a very labor less vacation.

"FUN IN THE SUN"

If you've filled your tub with sand or setting up lawn chairs on the sidewalk in front of your office, it's time to get away. Join 30 other city dwellers for a day at Long Island Sound. Play on the beach - the possibilities are endless! The day ends with a three-hour cruise on a 19th-century schooner.

ADENTURE SOCIETY SUMMER RAFTING & FLOATING TRIP

Lazily floating down the Delaware River may be the best way we've heard yet to beat this oppressive heat. Gather five friends to fill your own raft or come solo and make new friends along the day. Alcohol is allowed on the river, but there are several restrictions: Read about them on the website to avoid getting fined. Fee includes transportation, rentals, breakfast and rafting.

HORSEBACK, WINE & KAYAKING

Join Adventure Society for a one-hour beginner, intermediate or advanced horseback ride, followed by a two-hour kayak ride through the Delaware Water Gap and some wine-fueled relaxation on dry land.
