Outdoor activities groups near Ipswich, MA

This group is a way to expand your Christian social circle in the Seacoast area. It's an activity club for people who follow Jesus. Our events will primarily be game nights, dinners, Christian concerts and worship nights. Members should live in the Seacoast area so we can build an active group. Towns include: Portsmouth, Hampton, Exeter, Rye, Seabrook, New Castle, Stratham, Newington, Newmarket, Kittery, York, Eliot

This Group was created **temporarily** as two paid Organizer subscriptions (rising recently to $300/yr. each) were being merged into one subscription. No activities planned for this group. The **Walking Group** does walks on paved surfaces and light hikes in town forests Northwest of Boston. The **Exploring Group** does somewhat more ambitious hikes Northeast of Boston and may include an occasional bicycling or ski event. Both value social interaction and could end with a gathering at an eatery nearby. You are encouraged to join either of these two groups if not already a member.

Associated with AANE, this group was created to bring people together who share a love for the outdoors! The group is organized by Katie McClean, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, with input from all members. Together, we will think of fun and interesting outdoor activities both in Boston and the South Shore. Please join this group if you are an individual on the autism spectrum who is looking for connection, socialization, and fun outdoor adventures! Check out AANE's other meetup groups for additional events! https://www.meetup.com/AANE-Adults/events/

Not ready to go indoors for the season? Let's meet up for some fall & winter outdoor activities like ocean walks, hikes, bike rides, cross country skiing, etc. We'll make it up as we go. No real skill level needed just an adventurous spirit and the desire to be outdoors.

Greetings All! I had a moment of clarity this morning while mountain biking. I was somewhat deterred by the heat and humidity but could not let the weekend expire without a ride in the woods. I was prepared for a belabored ride but surprisingly, it was not although I did appreciate the breeze coming over the surface of the swamp and at other points during the ride. TMI? I hope not and rather was thinking and hoping that there are others like me that appreciate and long for more moderate to high intensity outdoor activities, across the four seasons and to include mountain or rail trail bike rides, hiking, fast-paced walking and snowshoeing. I will not be planning ski trips since there is more planning and logistics involved and I don't care for road biking since I find vehicles and the traffic very distracting. I am an avid mountain biker and would be glad to organize a few low impact/easy rides and provide tips and pointers but not for absolute beginners. So as members join, realize that most events will likely be on the North Shore and feel free to express your preferred activities. Let's get out and about and disconnect from the myriad and mostly pointless noise. Also consider my other group for more passive activities. https://www.meetup.com/north-shore-culture-vultures/

Let's get together to experience arts and educational activities and events (eg. theater, films, music, museums). We can also read and discuss articles and books about important issues in our communities, the US and the world.

Anyone interested in exploring your own culture, the culture of others, discovering new places, meeting new people and having fun times and discussions about serious issues?

If you are interested in learning more about the outdoors or if you are looking to find a community of women that enjoy the outdoors. Artemis is a national a group of women in the outdoors. So if you are a woman that enjoys spending time in the outdoors and believes in the importance of conservation, this is the group for you!

It is YOUR responsibility to READ the entire description of a event and be prepared. Other than updates/cancelations all info has been added by the Organizer/Event Host. If you have further questions? Add your question to the comments on the event page. Or messages the Event Host. \***OUR RULES:** We don't want to discourage anyone from joining! So, let's keep it simple! We **ALL** need to keep things **POSITIVE!** Negativity is too distracting and will take away from the purpose of the group. As members we ALL need to Respect each other's: Space, Privacy, & Beliefs at ALL times. There will be ZERO tolerance for damaging conduct, abusiveness, bullying of any kind to anyone This will result in immediate removal from the group. If you are removed from this group - the same goes for any other meet up group affiliated with this one. Again this is a **non-commercial** group. Direct marketing, selling to the group's members is very uncomfortable and prohibited. Many of us have careers, jobs that require sales, work in the service industry etc. Remember, members join this group join it to have FUN! "Sharing" what you do in conversation is completely different from prospecting, using our members for your agenda. If you are removed from this group - the same goes for all other meet up group affiliated with this one: IMMEDIATE REMOVAL **PHOTOS:** We do need to identify you at an event. Therefore a recognizable PHOTO of YOU attached to your profile is mandatory to join and remain a member of this group. The group is considered, "Private." Only it's members can view your photo along with any group photos. \***GUEST POLICY:** Group members have top priority to rsvp for our events! Therefore, unless designated the group's are for MEMBERS ONLY. At times guests may be included when you rsvp depending on the type it is. As a member YOU are responsible and must be present with your guest at all times. **YOUR GUEST:** has NOT been removed or banned from this group - or any of it's affiliates. As a member YOU are solely responsible and must be present with your guest at all times. We appreciate your cooperation. Sorry, but NO CHILDREN are allowed at any of our events at any time - or for any reason \* **YOUR RSVP:** When you rsvp "YES" to an event, that means that you WILL be attending the event. If for any reason you will not be joining us, it is your responsibility to be mindful and update your status to, "NOT GOING." Not doing so is not only rude and inconsiderate to the Organizer/Event Host & Members, but most times will cause a fellow member who may have been on a wait list not to be able to participate in the event. Meet up and Organizers send out and comment several reminders for each and every event. Any cancellation unless you have directly contacted the Organizer/Event Host within 2 hours of an actual event will be noted as a NO-SHOW. ALL no-shows are noted when we take attendance (Yes, we take attendance) " 2" NO-SHOWS will remove you from the group. If you are removed from this group - the same goes for any other meet up group affiliated with this one. \***WAITLISTS:** The Wait List, unless noted auto-populates. Once a member on the rsvp list attending changes their rsvp, the next person on the wait list is auto-added at ANY time. If you rsvp to an event and end up on the wait list, it is YOUR responsibility to stay in the loop if an opening becomes available. If for any reason there are changes - you changed your mind, etc. ? it only takes a moment to update your status to" not going." We definitely understand if an opening becomes available too close to the actual time of the event obviously leaving you without time to get there etc... and will definitely understand such circumstances. \* **LIABILITY RELEASE:** As a condition of attending our meet ups, you agree to hold harmless, and indemnify the Organizer/Event Host and his/her heirs, and all members and participants of this Meet Up group from any claims for injury, illness, death, and/or property damage including those caused by negligence, ignorance, inexperience and other reasons.

You are expected to update your RSVP to "NO" *WAY IN ADVANCE*.  If you sign up to attend an event and your plans change, please be sure to change your RSVP at least 1 day before event. When you don't a lot of issues arise.**  **A) Members on wait lists don't have time to make arrangements to attend event.**  **B)  Inaccurate headcounts mislead our hosts and damage relationships with our venues. All reservations if needed were all ready made at least a day before event, some times even more in advance. Last minute changes do not give hosts time to call venues with updated head counts.**      **C) Members/Hosts are not sure of the number of people attending and end up waiting for no reason to start event. Their are many more problems created too, so please if you are unsure at least 1 day before event you can make it, change your RSVP to "NO". If you cancel due to an emergency, contact your host as soon as possible to tell them so.** **MEMBERS WHO CHANGE RSVP TO "NO" LESS THAN 1 DAY IN ADVANCE OR NO SHOW COULD BE DENIED ATTENDANCE TO EVENTS BY THE HOSTS AND MAY EVEN BE REMOVED FROM NSS ALL TOGETHER.**                           **YOU ARE NOT INVISIBLE!**    (If I could host/attend or both 176 events and have not one "No-Show", you all could make sure you have none either. What do you think would happen if I "No Showed" for the other 180 events I am hosting/attending or both? I do not think you would like it one bit.

What is S.E.E. Mates? What does S.E.E. mean? Well, it can mean lots of things! Ski - Snowboard - Swim - Socialize - Sing - Sea! Or, E? Explore - Experience - Engage - Eat - Exercise! In other words, it means something perhaps a little different for each of us! However, it brings us together! You will S.E.E!

We are a group of fun, kind, socially active men and women who enjoy staying healthy and participating in outdoors (and virtually) together! Join our waitlist at myseemates.com. If you have been skiing or traveling alone because your ski/travel buddies are no longer skiing or available when you are, this group is for you!! We plan to enjoy occasional social gatherings locally on our patios, in restaurants, on rail trails, on the slopes, water, or mountains!

If your membership is declined, try posting a better picture and resubmit. A CLEAR view of your face means your face cannot be obstructed by Glasses, Goggles, Hats, Mugs, Pets or anything else.

Learn, play, and compete at backgammon! The aim of this group will be to build a thriving backgammon community in the Cape Ann area by holding MeetUp events in various fun locations around Cape Ann. Every kind of BG activity, from beginner sessions to social chouettes and competitive tournaments can be arranged to meet the interests of group members.

CrewFinder is for people who want to actively pursue sailing connections. Skippers find Crew and can network with fellow Skippers. Crew will find a variety of styles and types of sailing. Beginners can meet mentors. Experienced sailors, who are currently boatless, will find the Skippers who are seeking their seasoned skills too.

The fundamental goal here is to increase your hours of sailing & offer a place to share information, contribute knowledge, grow skills, broaden on-water experience, and meet the sailing buddies you will most enjoy, respect, and find dependable. This starts with developing an informative Profile that tells others who you are, what you bring and hope to gain here.

To generate more sailing for all members, we start by catering to Skippers. Skippers define the terms of their sailing day and the type of Crew they seek. We are not a sailing school, but many Skippers enjoy mentoring and newbies curious to explore sailing are welcome. We ask that you be here to actively engage in the sport, want to contribute and have an authentic interest in sailing.

If you RSVP to sail, you're offering to help operate a sailboat. Before you offer, learn about the boat, the Skipper and what will be asked of you. Your offer to crew can be declined or accepted. An RSVP to sail isn't a guaranteed seat, a ticket-to-ride, or a boarding-pass for a free harbor cruise. And unlike many other types of MeetUp event postings, a sailing RSVP is not an offer for crewing respondents to invite their own added Guests.

We have active members in coastal Maine, NH, MA, Rhode Island, & the lakes regions of New Hampshire and Vermont. Our varied calendar and geographically distributed events let you meet fellow enthusiasts and expand your network year-round. You're encouraged to add events to the calendar that will help grow the network in your specific area too. Take the lead, ask for some posting tips, then invite others the sailing activities you enjoy & want to share. 

Is this the place to pursue Your sailing interests? Join & find-out. Experiment with new places to sail, different types of boats, and different styles of sailing. Hear about the area's most affordable classes, or find informal on-water learning opportunities. Meet fellow enthusiasts & share good times under sail. Skippers: Never again leave your boat unsailed for lack of Crew! Post here, build your roster, and fill your days with all the sailing you wish. 

**Who is this group for?** This group is for women on the North Shore seeking to spend time walking, hiking, biking in the company of other likeminded women.

NEW MEMBER REQUESTS- FOR SECURITY, ALL PROFILE PICTURES MUST CONTAIN YOUR FACE. IF PICTURE GUIDELINES ARE NOT MET, YOUR REQUEST WILL BE DECLINED. THANK YOU. **What activities should you expect?** Early evening walks, weekend walks, weekend local hikes and I welcome other suggestions. **RSVP’s:** If you don't think you'll be able to attend an event, please change your RSVP with at least 24 hours-notice to give someone on the waitlist the opportunity to attend. While I understand last minute things come up, this should be the exception and not the rule. It is a matter of respect for your fellow group members. Two no-shows will result in removal from the group – no exceptions. **Liability release:** As a condition of joining this group and attending meetup events, you agree to hold harmless, and indemnify the Organizer/Event Host and his/her heirs, and all members and participants of this Meetup group from any claims for injury, illness, death, and/or property damage including those caused by negligence, ignorance, inexperience and other reasons.
