Events listed as Young Members are designed for members ages 20-40 but all AMC events are open to all ages.

The Hiking Group - CT & NY

Southbury, CT

This is a group for anyone interested in hiking (most of our members are 50 years old and older). All skills levels are welcome. We started this group to meet other outdoor enthusiasts. Looking forward to exploring the outdoors with everybody. PLEASE make sure you have a CLEAR PHOTO of yourself on your profile picture. This is REQUIRED so that you can easily be recognized. Every weekend we offer hikes of varying degrees of difficulty. Hike are free for members (membership only $10) and $2 per hike for non-members. Sometimes we stop at a restaurant for supper after the hike. "C" hikes are the easiest with minimal elevation and duration (2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours). "B" hikes are more challenging in terms of elevation & duration (2 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours). "A" hikes are the most challenging (4 to 6 1/2 hours). Hiking boots or sturdy footwear & a backpack are strongly recommended. Bring liquids and a trail lunch. Children are welcome. It's up to the hike leader if dogs are allowed. Please give yourself plenty of time, to find us, since we only wait an extra 10 minutes, before starting an event, to be fair to everyone. You are responsible, for your own safety and we cannot be held liable. The leader normally goes to the "meet" rather than the "carpool" site. People are expected to "self-assemble" and leave the "carpool" site to arrive at the "Meet" site on time. All questions concerning a particular hike can and should be addressed with the leader for that hike.

ASL (American Sign Language) Conversation & Student Support

Bethel, CT

**Are you an ASL student** looking to get more practice signing? This group might be just what you're looking for! **Are you a native ASL signer?** We'd love to have you in the group too! **The General Plan:** 1. I host regular Zoom meetings where you can **practice your conversation skills** with other signers. The majority of attendees will likely be students but there might be native ASL signers as well. 2. If there's interest, I'll plan in person meetings. **What To Expect:** 1. *Lots of small group conversations.* We spend about half of the meeting in **small groups based on ASL level** so that you're with signers who are around the same level as you. You'll have lots of opportunities to participate, practice what you know and learn new things from other members. 2. *Themes, games and activities.* I like to keep things interesting, so **check event details to see what the theme is** for each meeting. I'll also plan games and activities from time to time. **PLEASE NOTE:** 1. **If you are completely new to ASL**, this is probably not the best group for you. There is no official ASL teacher in our group and our meetings aren't classes. 2. If you **know the ASL alphabet and have some basic conversation skills**, you're welcome to join the group and see if you find it helpful. **Who Am I?:** I've been a student of ASL for about 7 years and a student of Spanish since I was in elementary school. I'm a bit obsessed with the process of learning languages. It probably has something to do with the fact that I was a teacher for 15 years. :-) I also have a group for Spanish students. Interested?

Cure for Boredom

Danbury, CT

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!
