Outdoor activities groups near Kent, CT

Are you the first one in your group to retire? Are your friends still working, leaving you feeling adrift? Let's get together for affordable activities in our neighborhood. This group is about daytime hiking in Connecticut State parks, taking advantage of local playhouses, outlet shopping, dining at the Gilson Theater, lunching, varied weekday activities and whatever the group might want to do.

- A member will be automatically remanded to the waitlist if he/she cancels more than twice on the day of the event.

- A member will be automatically remanded to the waitlist if he/she has two event no shows.

Are you jewish and want to go on some hikes, meet some like minded peers, and have a fun time.
This group is more than just the outdoors.
Yes, while we are hoping to go on some hikes, and other outdoorsy events, we are also going to rock some Karaoke, check out the museums and overall hangout and have some fun.

Our meetup group schedules hikes regularly for both the advanced hiker looking for long and strenuous workouts as well as the less serious hiker looking for shorter and more moderate walks. We hike all the trails and preserves in the Litchfield County area and often venture into New York and Massachusetts. Our focus is on exercise, making friends, and appreciating nature. We usually follow each hike with a social gathering at a local eatery.

This group is unique in that there is strong emphasis on learning about the diverse flora and fauna of Connecticut's wooded habitats and its ecology. I recently completed the DEEP/Goodwin Forest Master Naturalist program and love sharing the things I find exciting about the areas we explore. I am also really interested in CT history. When I'm not leading hikes for Litchfield County Explorers, I guide hikes professionally for the Mayflower Inn in Washington, CT and internationally for Connecticut Audubon Society EcoTravel. I am certified as an AMC hike leader and in wilderness first aid from the National Outdoor Leadership School.

Please join us!

Whether you are an active trader, or curious about the opportunities to be found in the market and looking for ways to participate our group can get you started and is the right place for you! 

Our meetings are online enabling us to reach a larger geographical area and the convenience of attending from the comfort of our homes, trusty computers in front of us, trading program running. 

We meet on the 1st and 3rd Monday of every month in an online venue easily accessible from your computer or smart device.

Prospective members should a) reside somewhere in the Hudson Valley, b) spend an inordinate amount of time devoted to building, buying, modifying, crashing, and flying Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and c) are running out of buddies to spot your flights.(You live nearby and are devoted to household flying mowers).
It doesn't matter which aspect of drone fun floats your boat: FPV, DIY building, racing, freestyle, photography (and/or videography) or just casual cruising around. Everyone interested is welcome. Same goes for experience level(s); everyone - total beginner to aspiring pro - is, once again, completely welcome.
Though in the beginning (while the group is still in its infancy), meetings will consist of getting together on my reasonably large property and a mix of casual flying and casual social interaction. Once we have more than 4 or 5 members, we'll start planning activities, Q and As, "field trips", etc. Fun stuff based around drones. To kick things off, we'll meet on the first and third Saturday of every month, noonish to three PM. Please RSVP. 

[BTW: no drone, but still interested? we'll probably be able to scrounge something up; come anyway.]

If you're tired of literally twiddling your thumbs on social media and Netflix, here is a relatively safe outdoor/online group for those near Waterbury, CT! This is the place to learn how to be self-sufficient by growing your own tasty, self-sustaining garden and saving the world while you're at it! Fellow hippies and science lovers, if you are interested in meditation, yoga, or wellness, here you can meet your own kind.

Cheapscates and couch potatoes, are you tired of lawn work? Why not replace the parched wasteland with edible plants that maintain themselves?! No pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, or any chemical inputs are required when the soil and plants are made healthy. Even weeding and replanting are hardly necessary! Don't believe me - just watch! There are demonstration sites in the area we can visit that practice edible landscaping and also plenty of online videos we can discuss. Grooving to Uptown Funk is also a possibility.

Edible landscaping is a down-to-earth (literally) way to exercise, have fun with your family, connect with nature, restore the environment, save time and money going grocery shopping, and eat local, nutritious, organic, FREE food. You could even have a side gig by selling your extra food!

This is the group for anyone interested in solving large-scale societal, personal, and environmental problems on their own property with people they actually know (not distant, orange big-wigs who are just in it for the money)! Permaculture is a self-sufficient lifestyle and design philosophy centered around Earth care, people care, and fair share.

Whether you are familiar or not with permaculture, you will become aware of its practices, ranging from cohousing, cotransportation, renewable energy, local manufacturing, zero waste, mindfulness, alternative therapies/medicine, and of course, edible landscaping. Prepare to have your life turned upside down - the grass (Er, I mean edible landscape) is greener on the other side!

Strong friendships enrich our lives and improve our health, unfortunately, it isn't so easy to build and maintain good friendships. This group has been started to bring together ladies who are seeking deeper friendships and are willing to commit to being vulnerable, coming out of your comfort zone to meet new people and making time for regular activities and get togethers.
Do you have friends but still feel isolated or not connected? If you are ready to invest the time and truly seek opportunities to build more and better friendships this group is for you.
This group will meet regularly for coffee, lunch or dinners. We also plan to organize random get togethers such as walks, hikes, kayaking, or game nights. The sky is the limit for this group and I look forward to meeting you and creating a great group that will be rewarding for all!

Cure for Boredom is just what it sounds like. We are about building better times.
People getting up and out and finding new friends and events to enjoy and share. Curing your boredom exploring new horizons.
I was looking to form the perfect group and did but then I joined, and it was not perfect anymore 😉 ha-ha
So here we are looking to make life better by making memories and good friends. YES YOU! You should join and meet new people and find some events or activities that interest you. I hope that this group would have a variety of activities and events. If you join and really like an idea or have a suggestion then that is great and encouraged as any good group is a shared experience and your desire may just be the thing that someone else is looking to try or do.
Some ideas are music venues , hiking , trivia event , bowling , pool parties, Fire Pit nights , skiing , travel and diners , charities, pet friendly, billiards, boating , golf, concerts, comedy nights, biking ,social, health and living, wineries and breweries, kick ball games ………. And many many more. Now all of that may not be posted all the time but as this group grows it should be known that the many interest varieties of the members should be offered and made available.
Life is good and sometimes it could be better to find fun things to do with others. Fun without boarders so that we are not boxed in and you could also expand your boundaries to explore new areas and even meet new people.
Just remember that any group is only as good as its members. So, you are so awesome that I was going to name the group AFTER YOU! 😊 then you could have told everyone that you joined a group that was named “After You” 😉
Cheers!
