Base.Camp San Antonio
TUESDAY AFTERNOON ACTIVITIES
If you’ve been to Base.Camp before, you know why our Tuesday afternoon activities are famous. Yes, we work hard together during the rest of the event through collaborative discussions and debates. But Tuesday Afternoon at Base.Camp (TM pending) is where legends are born, bonds are forged, deals are made… and someone wildly overestimates their ability to stay under par.

Horseback Riding (But Make It Texas)
This is your official permission slip to step away from screens, sessions, and Slack pings… and trade them for actual horsepower.
Westcreek Trail Rides takes us out to Owl Creek Farm for a 90-minute ride through 140 acres of wooded Texas trails. It’s scenic, it’s a little wild (in the best way), and it somehow makes everyone feel like the main character for at least an hour and a half. You’ll weave through dense, leafy paths, pass rustic farm structures, and ride through a working pastoral escape that’s equal parts “Texas postcard” and “why don’t we do this more often?”
New rider? Totally fine. Experienced rider? You’ll still love it. The crew matches you with a horse that fits your comfort level, so the vibe is confident and fun, not “hold on for dear life.”
Pull, Aim, Repeat: Shotgun Lesson + Clay Shooting
We’re heading out to Joshua Creek Ranch in Boerne (about an hour from San Antonio) for a shotgunning experience that’s equal parts instruction, competition, and unexpectedly addictive. You’ll start with certified instructors who’ll get everyone dialed in using their wobble trap, covering the basics like mounting, swing, and lead. (AKA, how to actually hit something instead of just making noise.)
Then it’s off to the sporting clays course, set among oak and elm trees in the Texas Hill Country. The course is designed to mimic the erratic flight of game birds, which means every shot feels different, and every hit feels earned. Expect a lot of focus, a little trash talk, and that very specific satisfaction when you absolutely crush a clay mid-air.
No experience required. Competitive instincts encouraged.
Alamo to River Walk: Historic Downtown Walking Tour
History, scenery, local storytelling.
This is San Antonio the way you actually want to experience it.
You’ll join a small group for an easy, two-mile walk through downtown that strings together the classics, The Alamo and San Fernando Cathedral, plus the River Walk’s hidden corners and the colorful La Villita Historic Arts Village. Expect great photo moments, a few “how have I never heard this” stories, and that feeling of being in a city with real texture.
This tour is designed to be engaging and conversational, not a lecture. You’ll hear the story of “Yanaguana,” the indigenous name for the San Antonio River, and why the river is at the heart of everything here.
The San Antonio E-Bike Mural Ride: Color, Culture, Cocktails
This is San Antonio in vivid technicolor!
We’ll cruise through the city’s most creative neighborhoods on easy e-bikes (so you can soak it in, not sweat through it), hitting the East Side, Southtown, and the Pearl. Think 5 to 10 miles of rolling street-level culture, guided by a local who knows the stories, not just the shortcuts.
Along the way we’ll stop at 20+ massive murals, the kind you normally blow past in an Uber, and actually get the quick, fascinating context. Who painted it, why it matters, what you’re looking at, and what it says about the city.
Then we end exactly where this should end: a craft cocktail class at Sojourn Trading Co., featuring a signature Mural Ride cocktail created exclusively for our group. Yes, custom. Yes, worth getting excited for. This is the part where the day shifts from “that was awesome” to “we are absolutely talking about this tonight.”
The Quarry Golf Club: Front Nine Calm, Back Nine Legendary
This is the kind of round people keep talking about long after the scorecards disappear.
The Quarry Golf Club delivers a full afternoon on a course that’s designed to be remembered. The front nine eases you in with a links-style layout, open sightlines, and rolling terrain that invites conversation as much as competition. Then the course reveals what makes it famous.
The back nine drops more than 100 feet into a 100-year-old limestone quarry, surrounding you with massive rock walls and deep ravines that turn every shot into a moment. Some will be triumphant. Some will be… instructional. All of them will be talked about.
The 17th hole is the highlight, a precision tee shot across the quarry floor that tends to produce both absolute lasers and hilariously ambitious attempts. Either way, it’s unforgettable.
CycloFiesta, The Rolling Party Bike Happy Hour
This is a two-hour, rolling reset. Part sightseeing, part group energy, part “how is this so fun?”
The CycloFiesta party bike is a 15-passenger pedal-powered ride that cruises through downtown San Antonio and the Pearl District. You pedal as a group, and your Party Captain handles the steering, the playlist, and the overall vibe on a premium sound system. Along the way, you’ll make a few bar stops, take in the city, and generally have a ridiculously good time doing something you will absolutely describe later as “we basically biked a bar crawl.”
Ride the River: The San Antonio Missions by E-Bike
This is where San Antonio started, and riding through it makes all the difference.
You’ll cruise the Mission Reach Trail on an e-bike, following the San Antonio River through some of the most meaningful and surprisingly beautiful parts of the city. The ride is smooth, unhurried, and designed to let you actually take it in, not rush past it.
Along the way, we’ll stop for guided walks through Mission San José, Mission San Juan, and Mission Concepción, plus highlights like the Espada Dam, Espada Aqueduct, and public art tucked along the riverbanks. Your guide connects the dots between the river, the missions, and the people who built their lives here, and how that culture still shows up today.
You’ll finish this one feeling like you actually met San Antonio.
