H3 OUTDOORS (H3O)

Valley Forge, PA

H3 OUTDOORS (H3O)
**Welcome Adventurers To H3 Outdoors or H3O!!!** \ You might be asking... what does H3 stand for? *Harmony... Happy... Healthy... Outdoors!* **"We're Not Just Hiking... We're H3O!"** We are a diverse group of hikers, walkers, backpackers, campers, runners, bicyclists, paddlers, rock climbers who simply enjoy being outside, with other people and getting some exercise at the same time. **Ten Years... over 6,000 members... and 4000 events!** We started out as a hiking group in 2013 and that is still our core activity, but H3O is evolving everyday in every way to expand our horizons to offer just about any fun, healthy outdoor activity possible. [H3O Member Code of Conduct (Click To View)](https://docs.google.com/document/d/17ZYMIr-fiMDEFPPO9D1WRVEfxVK6ELcy/edit?usp=drivesdk&ouid=112345812258770866986&rtpof=true&sd=true) **Where Do We Go? "Outdoors" Is A Pretty Big Place!** Many of our hikes and events are in Valley Forge National Park, Ridley Creek State Park and most other parks and hiking trail destinations located throughout Chester, Montgomery, Berks and Delaware counties. But we are always venturing out to other areas and neighboring states and now across the country. And in 2015 we hosted our first international hiking trip to England. **Are H3O Hikes and Activities For You?** \ Our members have a variety of physical skill levels from beginner to intermediate to advanced hardcore. We always plan our hikes and activities with this in mind and will let you know the minimum skill level required so you can decide if an activity is appropriate for you to attend. Hiking and activities should always be well within your own comfort and skill level. Our organizers are not professionals and all hiking and activities are always at your own risk and responsibility. Dogs on a leash are permitted at your own risk on Meetups where the venue allows dogs. Our number one goal is to have fun and enjoy the great outdoors while observing safety at all times. **Do We Charge Anything?** Meet Up charges a fee to maintain the website and all groups need to pay this to continue to post activities for their group. We don't charge our members but anyone can feel free to "Chip In" voluntary contributions. This is NOT a membership fee but a voluntary donation to keep the group going. If you are unable to make a donation, no worries; you are still welcome to join our group. Other than that, if a planned event requires a cost to conduct it (i.e., lodging, travel, permits, equipment, supplies, etc.) then we do charge the appropriate funds to cover those costs. We don't mark up any costs and we don't make a profit off any events. \ **So, What Do You Want To Do? Where Do You Want To Go?** We are open to the suggestions of our members. Let us know! Our activities are only limited by imagination! But let's keep it safe. Maybe no jumping out of helicopters. But that does sound fun! ***Come On Out and Join Us! We Hope To See You Out There! Whaaahoooo! ;)*** **Want To See For Yourself?

Delco Ladies Social Group - 30s and 40s

Ridley Park, PA

Delco Ladies Social Group - 30s and 40s
This group is designed to help bring women together - to build new friendships, network, and go on social outings. Let’s share hobbies and create new ones! If you’re a woman around 30/40 years of age, looking for new friends, and want to find some events to get involved in, this is the group for you! Events will be primarily in the Delaware County area, but may occasionally be in surrounding areas as well. Activities will include happy hours, eating out, fitness, book clubs, game nights... anything is fair game - so feel free to suggest activities that you'd like to see! Looking forward to meeting you! ATTENDANCE POLICY - 48 HR RSVP One of the biggest stresses of any group is having an accurate RSVP count. In order to help mitigate this, I will be enacting a 48-hr mandatory response on events. Remember: we can’t make friends & have fun if we don’t show up! 1. If you can no longer make an event you RSVPed for, please update your RSVP no later than **48 hours prior to the event**. 2. Last minute cancellation: if something comes up less than 48 hours, please contact your host or post on the event message board that you can no longer attend. 3. If you have late cancellations to 2 events in a year, you will be removed from the group. 4. No contact/ no show: If you no-show to an event and do not contact the host or post a message, you will be removed from the group. I hope everyone understands the need for this, and ultimately that it gives people on the waitlist an opportunity to grab an open spot.
