The Adventure Hat

Everyone deserves an adventure

The Goof Off Club

Two things, really. The Adventure Hat adventures — real family days painted and turned into books. And two wrapped vehicles, a 2021 Yukon XL and a Palisade, carrying the hat across the country to meet people.

The Adventure Hat adventures

A day out, painted page by page and printed as a real book your family keeps. That's the first thing we do, and it's why the trip exists at all.

The Yukon XL and the Palisade

Both wrapped in our own watercolors. One side asks people to fund an adventure. The other side is the wall of people who already did. Each side has its own code to scan.

The Yukon XL asking side, and the Palisade thank-you side. Both get both.

Where we'll be, and when

The real calendar. Towns we've already painted, the one we're headed to next, and every stop still waiting for someone to pay for it.

Getting the calendar…

The rolling billboard

A 2026 Palisade wrapped in our own watercolors — the hat on the hood, the paintings down the sides, and one big QR code on the back glass.

Scan it in a parking lot in any state and you land on one short page that tells you exactly what we're doing and why. That's how strangers become club members.

  • Every stop gets painted and posted.
  • The code goes to a one-screen "what is this" page.
