Outdoor activities groups near Swansea, MA

Providence Outdoor Adventures

Providence, RI

Providence Outdoor Adventures

We are Providence's number one group for hiking, skiing, biking, snowboarding, and more. We have no cliquey events where only the regulars always get chosen, and every event starts with carpool so nobody is left behind. We are the most inclusive group in the area for hiking, skiing, biking, snowboarding, and other outdoor adventures.

Our group is about the democratization of the outdoors, so you can be the adventure spark (https://www.ridj-it.com/adventurespark)without having to go through layers of the usual Meetup hierarchy.

Do you want to get out and go skiing but don’t have a ride? We’ve got your back. Have you been dreaming about surfing but can’t make it out to California? We know a secret spot to paddle out, and its way closer than you think. Ridj-it has helped bring hundreds of people from the creature comforts of the city to adventures of a lifetime all around New England. Pick one of our trips or design your own; we’ll sort out the details. Your ride is outside. What are you waiting for?

Ridj-it has taken over 3,000 cars off the road, and through connecting those without cars with those who have one, we've helped adventurers host over 500+ events in just a year. Is there a mountain you've always wanted to hike?

Drivers and riders can post adventures from Providence. Our events include people from Meetup, Facebook, Airbnb, and others, so we're more than your typical Meetup group.

Why do we carpool? (https://www.ridj-it.com/single-post/2018/02/18/Why-Carpool)We found most other outdoor Meetups were leaving younger residents, people of color, and immigrants behind. By linking our trips to carpool, we make sure everyone has to work together as a team in order to go on events. Many of our hosts don't have cars, and we're proud to have a space where outdoor enthusiasts can slowly democratize access to New England's beautiful mountains, rivers, and beaches.

Warwick Activities Meetup Group

Warwick, RI

Warwick Activities Meetup Group
New or old to these groups- let’s get a schedule together of things to do that can keep us active and social. Let’s take a walk on one of the many trails that RI has to offer or I hear that there may be a bike path somewhere to walk/ride/skate. Or maybe it is raining and we want to have a game night. We can share a cocktail at an area establishment if we choose as a different activity- in this group the sky is the limit as long as we are socially conscious and accepting of each other’s diverse nature. And honestly this group is for everyone just as long as you want to be in a positive space and enjoy one another. Come one, come all- join us!! I want to add that this group is not focused on dating or drama and members should not come events and have to worry about this. Members should be able to come and have a good time. There also will be in no way any allowance of any type of behavior that makes other group members uncomfortable, no oppressive behaviors exhibited. If this occurs, please bring it to the group moderator. Also, I am going to request that members please have a clear picture of themselves and have their names in their profiles for safety reasons. If members don’t maintain this, I will request that this be done 1 time and a 1 month grace and termination if rules are not followed. So, having said this 😎, let’s get together and have a good time. We are a group TO HAVE FUN AND ENJOY EACH OTHER’S UNIQUE BACKGROUNDS as we all have much to give to one another . Let me know if you have any questions, concerns or activities suggestions. Best, Barbara

Rhode Island Area Social and Support Group (RIASSG)

Providence, RI

Hi Everybody! My name is Eich and I ran the Rhode Island Area meetup.com group Living with Depression, Anxiety & Emotional Instability Group (LwDA&EI) for over two years, very successfully and lovingly, and through a worldwide pandemic. I am branching out now to start my own meetup group with my motto of the last decade: "To truly listen and to genuinely care." The purpose of the Rhode island Area Social and Support Group (RIASSG) is to provide a safe area for people who suffer from any emotional or psychological affliction (including, but not limited to: depression, anxiety, nervousness, OCD, ADHD, Schizophrenia, Bipolar, etc.) to join similar people who also have issues and discuss our problems and most of all, heal and acquire better mental health and its skills both individually and as a community as a whole. I have always promoted an atmosphere of welcoming everybody who comes to my group, acceptance of all and every type of human beings as well as their individual issues and try to foster an environment where the group leader as well as members provide genuine and caring responses to others' situations and all feel welcome, included and never uncomfortable even if they have a challenging life situation. You should join RIASSG if you are diagnosed with or otherwise suffer from any mental, emotional or psychological issue(s) but truly believe that you can improve your mental health situation and would benefit from a group of your peers who are also suffering from some psychological affliction and are willing to help each other get better in a warm, friendly and helpful environment that promotes self-worth, dignity, self-improvement and genuine concern for one another. Meetings will take place probably three Sundays a month to start out for like an hour and a half in total and they are usually structured to include a check-in period where everybody goes around the room and introduces themselves and their respective issues; there hopefully will be a weekly question that will focus on mental health and a closing period (and a set of group guidelines will be presented at every meeting). In the past, I have also had events like a Holiday party in December, a summer get=together like a cookout or outdoor gathering and maybe one group outing a year like to an arcade or something so members can gather in a less-structured environment and enjoy some good times outside of a meeting and all its structure. These have met with success and i will try to include these activities in RIASSG as well once we get going.
