Vagabond Ski & Social Club

Vagabond Ski & Social Club Active Adults Over 50 Having Fun While the Vagabonds began as a ski club, we have become a year round sports and social club.

The Vagabond Ski Club was organized more than six decades ago by a group of individuals dedicated to friendship and fun, but first and foremost, to skiing. Since our inception, the Vagabonds have evolved into the largest ski, sports and social club in the state of Wisconsin with over 1,000 members. Indeed, it is one of the largest clubs of its kind in the country.
