Tips for Picking the Perfect 30th Birthday Adventure Weekend Destination:
1. Ideally, the destination should be no more than a 3.5 hour drive away so you can still plan a day and a half of fun activities.
2. Research average temperatures and typical weather for the time of year you are planning the adventure weekend.
3. Determine how wild and rural of a setting you are comfortable with. Coming home to a plush log cabin after a hike is perfect for some, while others love roughing it and sleeping under the stars at night.
4. Research camping, fishing, hiking and cooking policies at the campsite before your final selection. If you have your heart set on creating a fire to roast marshmallows, for example, make sure the campfire allows open fires.

Tips on How Many Guests To Invite:
The best part about a birthday is having your favorite people there to celebrate it with you.
1. For a fun weekend adventure trip, plan on inviting 3 to 6 other friends, for a total of 5-8 people including you and a significant other.
This will give you enough people to make it seem like a true celebration, without making the process of planning too daunting.
2. Once the group number climbs past ten, the chances of finding a weekend that coordinates with everyone's schedule is nearly impossible, which is why we recommend keeping it simple and sticking to eight or less total campers.

Tips on Fun Activities:
There are endless fun activities that can be planned during a 30th birthday adventure weekend. We suggest mixing things up a bit by adding a festive party slant to traditional camping pastimes:
1. River Rafting: Organize a few hours of floating down a river in innertubes and inflatable rafts. Bring rope to tie the inner tubes together in groups as well as inflatable coolers filled with beer and snacks, and spend a few hours relaxing in the sun while catching up with your favorite people and floating downstream. Alternately, adventure junkies can plan a rapids rafting trip - just be safe and skip the booze.
2. Roasted Marshmallows and White Russians: For an adult twist on the campfire favorite of roasting marshmallows, we suggest pairing molten s'mores with delicious white Russian cocktails for your 30th birthday adventure bash.
3. Beer pong or Ping Pong Tournament: Planning an afternoon tournament is a perfect activity to eliminate boring downtime around the campsite. Relive your college memories by playing beer pong, or stay sober with a few fast-paced rounds of ping pong.
4. The Animal Tracking Game: Split the group up into two teams with a printout of common local animal tracks and points assigned to each track. Teams have one hour to spot and identify as many tracks as possible and must take a picture with each different track as evidence. To raise the stakes, let it be known that the losing team gets automatic campsite clean up duty at the end of the weekend.
