    Get Off the Couch Adventure Day

    June 7, 2026 | Norbrook Farm Brewery | Colebrook, CT

    Join us for the Get Off the Couch Foundation’s Annual Adventure Day at Norbrook Farm Brewery — a day of outdoor activity, community, and impact.

    Inspired by the adventurous spirit of Chris Del Sole, the Get Off the Couch Foundation helps children experience the confidence, joy, and lifelong benefits that come from getting outside and getting active.

    Participants can choose their own adventure before gathering for a relaxed afternoon celebration at the brewery.

    Activities may include*:

    • Mountain biking

    • Trail running

    • Hiking or walking

    • Kids outdoor activities

    Afterward, everyone comes together for great food, drinks, music, and community while celebrating the difference we’re making together.

    Funds raised support programs that help children access outdoor opportunities such as mountain bike camps, learn-to-ride programs, learn-to-ski and snowboard packages, and adaptive outdoor experiences.

    Come ride, hike, run, walk — or simply join us to support the mission.

    Let’s get off the couch and make a difference.
