Silver Spring Outdoors

Silver Spring, MD

Silver Spring Outdoors
This meetup is for people in the Silver Spring area who enjoy being outdoors and want to meet and socialize with other area residents. We plan outdoor activities of short duration (typically <3 hours) and within an hour drive of Silver Spring. While the group may host any outdoor activity most of our events involve walking or hiking about four miles. We often walk on the stream valley trails that form a network in and around Silver Spring. In the winter, weeknight walks are more often in neighborhoods where there are streetlights. Members are encouraged to suggest and organize outdoor events. It is helpful if you can post a photo of yourself on your profile (even better if it is outdoors). Dues for this meet-up are $5 per year. Any member who hosts a meet-up event will automatically be exempt from dues for the calendar year. New members have a free trial of 2 months before paying dues. Members who are inactive for more than two months and have not paid dues may be dropped. Dues are paid in cash to the organizer to avoid processing fees which are high. The dues go to pay the Meetup fee for hosting the website which is currently $209.78 per year. Some rules/guidelines: Anyone over 18 can join. Children are welcome as a guest of a member as long as they are supervised and can keep up with the described activity. Dogs are welcome as long as they are friendly, leashed, you pick up after them and they are allowed in the area where we will be. If you have any questions about an event after reading the description, please message the event organizer privately or post a comment. No Show policy: You are a no show if you have signed up to attend an event (RSVP'd yes) and do not attend. If you change your RSVP at the last minute and give no reason that will be counted as a no show. If a member shows a pattern of signing up for events then not attending they may be dropped from the group since their RSVPs are preventing others from participating. In most cases members will be dropped from the group after two no shows.

Washington Women Outdoors

Washington, DC

Washington Women Outdoors

Washington Women Outdoors (WWO) is a non-profit organization founded in the Fall of 1977 and recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) in the Spring of 1979, that is run almost entirely by volunteers. We engage in outdoor activities in the Washington, DC area where women share skills, experience, strengths, and support to enhance and expand each woman's world. We welcome women of diverse ages, races, and lifestyles. WWO provides instruction by women for women. Activities are available for all skill levels to inspire the beginner and to challenge the more advanced.

WWO members are independent women who seek adventure in the outdoors. We have a passion for hiking, biking, rock climbing, caving, backpacking, kayaking, cross country skiing, horseback riding, hang gliding, and anything that tests our strength and broadens our horizons. We enjoy meeting new people who want to travel with us to beautiful places in the wilderness. If you are open to learning new things in a supportive environment and enjoy sharing the outdoors with other women, we invite you to join us.

WWO is different than typical Meetup groups. We scout our hiking and biking trips. Each trip is led by two leaders. One leader stays at the front of the group and the second leader is the sweep. Each participant is encouraged to participate at her own pace, and the sweep is there to ensure that no one is left behind. We want each participant to go at their own pace so that they enjoy their experience and come back to the outdoors.

Outdoor Vineyard Visits

Alexandria, VA

Outdoor Vineyard Visits
For those that are aged 40 and up following CDC guidelines. This is a meetup to provide outdoor enjoyment with wine and good conversation during these crazy years.  A shared love of the grape ;). We have a medley of events from area vineyards to wine tastings locally in Fairfax, Clifton and Arlington. Our hosts bring their expertise in helping plan for fun places and sharing of good wine. Please note that over the year we've had several folk sign up for events and then not show. Please, keep your RSVP current (going or waitlist) so that others have the opportunity to attend. Many of our gatherings are not large so signing up and not showing is something we'd rather not see and will remove the member from the group if a "no show". Everyone has ample time to update their RSVP or at a minimum, contact any host or even message on the event page. If it was something really unforeseeable, please let us know after the event and we'll update the membership. I think it's great there are so many who enjoy the vineyards and we just want to ensure others on the waitlist have ample time to plan and join as well. If there are no limits on an event, being a no-show doesn't matter... it's the ones we put together with the vineyards that have limits that do. Thanks. Policy 11/10/2022 When an event has been scheduled and a payment made, any no-shows/late cancellation will be removed. A late cancellation is defined as one within hours of the event the day of.  You can notify your host in advance if you are having an issue but the best policy is to make sure your RSVP is current and you cancel with enough notice so another might join. For the other events, the second no-show/late cancellation for unpaid events will be removed.

DC Outdoor Adventures

Washington, DC

DC Outdoor Adventures
We are the DMV'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. 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 5,000 cars off the road, and through connecting those without cars with those who have one, we've helped adventurers host over 1,000 events. Is there a mountain you've always wanted to hike? Drivers and riders can post adventures from the DC area, especially from one of the Metro stops. 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](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 the Mid-Atlantic's beautiful mountains, rivers, and beaches. Check us out on Facebook ([http://facebook.com/ridjit](http://facebook.com/ridjit)) and Instagram ( [https://www.instagram.com/ridj_it/](https://www.instagram.com/ridj_it/)), and if you want to know more about Ridj-it, click here ([https://www.ridj-it.com/how-it-works](https://www.ridj-it.com/how-it-works)).
