EXplore your world
Excursions | Outings
There’s so much to explore in and around Boston and, while it’s fun adventuring solo, it can be even more rewarding when you’re part of a group.
The BHV program committee designs and plans a variety of excursions to take advantage of all that Boston and surrounding areas have to offer – whether just in the neighborhood or across the New England region. By attending events together, we not only appreciate the program itself but enjoy the camaraderie of our friends and neighbors.
A truly collaborative effort makes attending these events possible through the efforts of the program committee and BHV staff.
Learn more about the program committee.
There can be a charge for events but some are discounted and some are even free. Transportation is arranged when appropriate.
