Terrapin Adventures offers all sorts of outdoor fun. They're a company based in Savage, MD, thirty minutes from Washington D.C., Baltimore and Annapolis that offers "adventures" like a zipline ride through the forest canopy or a giant, three-person swing that's winched back and then released, using only gravity to create 2 G's of force (then you swing back and forth for like three minutes -- it's crazy.) Terrapin offers their adventures for team-building exercises as well as straight-up parties. Other things you can do: climb a giant, four-sided climbing tower or cross the High-Ropes traverses, far above the ground. Its crazy outdoorsy stuff and apparently lots of fun.
Terrapin also offers tours. Biking, river tubing, guided nature hikes, geocaching, rock climbing/rappelling, sailing, windsurfing, fly & reel fishing and horseback riding. Whew! These tours range all over the Chesapeake Bay area and they're really quite reasonably priced. So, Maryland adrenaline junkies, now you know where to go.
