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.

Hiking & Outdoors Club

Gambrills, MD

Hiking & Outdoors Club
**About Hiking & Outdoors Club.** This is a group for: hiking, outdoor and social activities for men and women, young and old, to enjoy the beauty of God's creation and spend time together in fellowship. We have a hiking, outdoors or social event roughly bimonthly. Our first event was held in October 2023 (a hike at Patapsco Valley State Park near Ellicott City, Maryland). Any attendee under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a family member who is 18 or older. We typically hike trails in the Central Maryland area and enjoy outdoor and social activities. This group is run by the Men's Fraternity at Faith Community Church in Gambrills, Maryland. **Schedule:** We intend to have hikes or other social events bimonthly on the last Saturday of March, May, July and September. Unless otherwise noted, each event will begin at 11am. We may have an event on the first weekend in November - potentially a hike of Old Rag Mountain in Virginia. This would be a day-long, very difficult hike - so we're still discussing this possibility. **Note: all hikes are rain or shine.** **Recon Hikes:** A few weeks before each published hike we typically do a "recon hike" (which is not published) to check out the difficulty of the trail, the parking available, etc. If you'd like to help with recon hikes, please let Charles know at: charles.barksdale@gmail.com or (443) 400-9130. **About Faith Community Church (FCC).** FCC is located at 1306 Riedel Road, Gambrills, Maryland 21054.
