Dartmouth Club of Washington DC

Imagine this: a relaxing summer weekend in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains, shared with your fellow Dartmouth friends!

There will be myriad opportunities for fun for all ages and interests: You can go tubing or canoeing, do a zip line or go for a hike, play golf or tennis, laze at the pool, even work out in the fitness center! Or just take it easy--enjoy a spa appointment, test your palate at local wineries, listen to a Wintergreen Summer Music Festival concert, or just relax in the shade with a favorite book. There's even a special "Treehouse Program" with special activities for kids. Many activities are included with the lodging.

To cap off the weekend, we’ll have a Sunday Brunch and Book Talk with historian and journalist James Zug ’91, award-winning author of five books. Zug’s senior thesis at Dartmouth was published 17 years later as The Guardian: A History of South Africa's Anti-Apartheid Newspaper. His newest book is about a Trinity College squash coach who has produced the longest winning streak in college sports history (224 consecutive wins) while struggling with a son who is a heroin addict. After doing Trip to the Sea in 1991, James became interested in John Ledyard; in 2005, his biography of Ledyard, American Traveler, came out to wide and positive reviews, even from a certain conservative College newspaper. Ledyard fled Dartmouth College by canoe after his freshman year and pursued many adventures, including a stint in the British Royal Navy ship Resolution on Captain James Cook's final voyage.
