Outdoor activities groups near Maynard, MA

This group is for married or committed couples interested in hiking, camping, kayaking, travel, etc.. All skills levels are welcome. The purpose of this group is to build friendships along the way with other couples who enjoy outdoor activities. Everyone is encouraged to make suggestions and throw out ideas for future activities, trips, and adventures! We are looking forward to exploring the outdoors with everybody. New England, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine and beyond.

Looking to find people who like to get out and do activities during weekdays when everyone else is at work? Most meetup groups cater to the 9-5 crowd, this one doesn't. We may have activities on the weekends and evenings as well, but we're going to focus on the weekday mornings and afternoons. Including, but not limited to hiking, biking, kayaking, walking, lunch, brunch, movies, museums, fairs, festivals, live music, art, crafts, and much more.

What do I mean by "Metro Northwest"? I'm based in Littleton, and envision meeting in any of the surrounding towns such as Westford, Groton, Chelmsford, Lowell, Carlisle, Acton, Concord, Maynard, Sudbury, Lincoln, Boxboro, Stow, Hudson, Harvard, Bolton, Ayer, Shirley, Lunenburg, Pepperell, Dunstable, Groton, Tyngsborough, Tewksbury, Billerica, Bedford, and surrounding towns. People from anywhere are welcome to join, the events will be focused on this geographical area.

Calling all active (and FIT for the activity you wish to sign-up for)  retirees (or not yet retired but taking time for fun) ready to explore and play with new friends! 

It's "summer" all year long now for us! We can do what we want, when we want! No more waiting for weekends and then having to try to find parking in crowded lots etc. We are free! We are looking for others who would love to get together for some fun (outdoors preferably) whenever we feel like it! Especially during the week when others are working and places are not crowded. While we will set-up activities to look forward to, those who are up for "last minute" gatherings can share their preferred "instant contact" info and we can text, email or call one another to invite for spontaneous fun. 

To keep our group a manageable size, at times we may need to temporarily put a hold on processing new member requests. As our events fill up quickly, our priority is for our members to have a better chance of signing up for our events. We will add on new members as members leave.

We do expect our participants to READ THE DESCRIPTIONS of each activity and only sign-up for the ones that you know you are FIT FOR and able to easily accomplish.                                                           

We will aim to post activities for various abilities as some of us do have knee, etc. issues. So flatter, shorter hikes will be part of our repertoire. 

For our PADDLES, we do need everyone to be able to transport your boat and all equipment to and from the launch sites unassisted. While we try to aid one another when possible, there is no guarantee that someone will be able to help. 

DO READ ALL DESCRIPTIONS of the activities and the equipment needed for participation. 

SAFETY FOR ALL is our main concern- and then FUN for ALL!

Regarding bringing friends: Please just have anyone who would like to come along join our group and sign-up for the activity online. It's free! Thank-you. <br>

If you were born in the 80s, and you want to have fun and socialize, this is the group for you! We're inviting like-minded people to connect and have a good time. What you can expect is events roughly every month where we'll meet at a local brewery/winery, or for some kind of outdoor activity. Thanks for joining, we're excited to meet you!

Ben Ryan is the organizer and planner of this group. Activities will require high skill and fitness level as they will be strenuous including Rock Climbing, Mountain Biking, Stand Up Paddle Boarding, Ocean Kayaking and Backpacking. Participants must have the stamina, skills and equipment for any activity you rsvp for.  This is not for the casual or beginning hiker/biker/paddler/climber. 

That said, this group is all about having fun outdoors and being active doing a variety of fun, higher intensity activities mostly during the week.

Welcome book lovers! This group is for women who have been itching for some social interaction during COVID and who also love to read. This is a group for those who value inclusivity and diversity, support LGBTQ, support BLM, believe in wearing masks, and that take the threat of COVID seriously. Meetings will be via zoom or done outdoors and socially distanced. All genres of books are welcomed and we will vote as a group for the next month's title.

If you enjoy reading and lively conversation, please join us!

Are you ready to get on your bike and ride?Time to dust it off and work on what you need to know to use it for fun, fitness and transportation.
