Solar Outdoors is a Southeast Michigan based club with more than 400 members. Founded in 1975, Solar Outdoors remains dedicated to helping its members enjoy nature and outdoor activities. Membership in the club is required for full access to our Meetup site.  Annual dues are $6 for individuals.  Please read further if you are interested in becoming a club member.  Questions about membership can be directed to **[solarmembership@solaroutdoors.org](mailto:solarmembership@solaroutdoors.org)**.     \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Solar Outdoors members themselves organize workshops and events in which other members can participate. Whether you are a beginner or experienced wilderness enthusiast, you will find workshops, activities, and trips for all skill levels and many different interests including--but certainly not limited to!--backpacking, day hiking, bicycling, cross-country skiing, paddling, orienteering, wildflower and tree identification, whitewater rafting, and geocaching. Solar Outdoors members can also borrow gear from our store of packs, sleeping bags and pads, stoves, and other outdoor equipment for an annual member fee of $35. To learn more about Solar Outdoors and its activities we encourage you to visit our website, [www.solaroutdoors.org](http://www.solaroutdoors.org/). There you will find a calendar of upcoming workshops and events. These sources give more information about who we are, what we do, and how we do it. We also welcome anyone interested in the club to attend our monthly meetings, held at **St. Paul's Presbyterian Church, 27475 Five Mile Road, just west of Inkster Road, in Livonia** on the last Tuesday of every month (except December) at 7 pm. SOLAR is not affiliated with St. Paul's or any other religious institution.  Directions are available here: [http://solaroutdoors.com/solarmeetings.html](http://solaroutdoors.org/About/Meetings.aspx).  The business meeting is followed by a program on a topic of general interest to our members. Solar Outdoors uses Meetup as a tool of convenience for our members to quickly get information about upcoming classes and activities and to sign up and pay for these events online. That's why our Meetup group is restricted to paid members of the club and non-members have very limited access. Once you have checked us out online and, we hope, in person by attending one of our monthly meetings, you can decide if becoming a member is right for you. If so, you can join the club by downloading the membership form ([http://solaroutdoors.com/downloads/S.O.L.A....](http://solaroutdoors.com/downloads/S.O.L.A.R_Membership_Application.pdf)), filling it out, and either submitting it with a check for the dues payment at one of the meetings or mailing both to the address listed on the bottom of the membership form. Once you are a club member you will have access to this Meetup group. Thank you for your interest in Solar Outdoors. We hope to meet you soon.

Meet other local members to ride, paddle, explore trails, talk gear and trade tips. We are here for anything fun outdoors and indoors. Some of our popular events include cycling, kayaking and skating but we are not limited to those. For example, hiking if there are leaders and enough interested members. Also, our events aren't limited to the city of Detroit, most of our events are in Southeast Michigan and there may be a few farther away. All levels of cyclists are welcome. We primarily do recreational rides on paved roads or trails. There will be group rides on streets with traffic. There will be group rides on the rails to trails that anyone can ride. Many are geared to a relaxed pace of 10-15 mph, distance varies. We may also plan some other rides such as mountain, fitness, and road biking, etc. if there is interest. All levels of paddlers are welcome. Many of us have kayaks but SUPs and canoes are also welcome and you can rent many places if you don't own. We primarily will be doing recreational paddling on local rivers with not much current, suitable for beginners or intermediate level. Some locations may be more advanced. There will also be other activities posted from time to time such as skating, social events or other activities that fit within the group's topics. The goal is to gather, make new friends and share activities that get you outdoors and/or keep you active. Your main profile picture should be a clear shot of your face so we can recognize you at events. Pictures of your child, pet, motorcycle, favorite cartoon character or even a group shot (which one are you?) aren't acceptable. If that's a problem you should contact the organizer to discuss it. \ **NEW** See here for our latest RSVP and attendance policies: [https://www.meetup.com/Activeindetroit/pages/31252444/Active_in_Detroit_group_policies/](https://www.meetup.com/Activeindetroit/pages/31252444/Active_in_Detroit_group_policies/) **NEW** Support your Meetup group by paying dues or making a donation: https://www.meetup.com/Activeindetroit/pages/17195192/Membership_dues/ \ All events are adult only unless otherwise specified in the event description. \ We are now on Facebook, which will make it easier for communication and event sharing.

This is a group for people are not currently active, but want to start getting active. We can set up meetups for walking, hiking, sports, etc. to get active and exercise. Let’s go from couch potato to active movers together! The location is southeast Michigan.

So you are in the Motor City, one of our country’s most iconic cities during its revitalization and a spectacular comeback… Now what? This is a meetup for active and social explorers who want to experience Detroit and Michigan. The group will focus primarily on Detroit and will branch out further for different adventures. The group will focus on more interactive activities that are conducive to getting to know your fellow Detroiters, whether that be a yoga session, a session of feather bowling, or a game night.

Last but not least, for those of you with a knack for coordinating and hosting, I’d love to offer you a platform to express your skills and enrich our calendar for everyone.

We have found great success building strong bonds and trust with others who also enjoy living life close to the land or waterways. Business relationships take time, but it’s amazing what happens just by spending a few days, or even a few hours, together on a fishing trip, sharing stories around a campfire, a good long hike, or crossing a field looking for fowl. Network Outdoors is more than just a group of business professionals or business owners from different industries looking to pass cards and swap 30-second commercials. Our members share experiences, grow businesses, promote outdoor activities, and give back to those organizations who work tirelessly serving our land, water, and habitats. Join us as a guest to meet other outdoors men & women at our various monthly meetups around greater Detroit and the state of Michigan. All food, beverages and everything you need to participate on the clay ranges is provided if you don't have your own gear. You DO NOT need to be a member of Network Outdoors to attend our monthly meetups. Most meetups run from 5:30-7:30pm but we have started new meetups offering early afternoon timeframes to all more options for those who only can meet during regular business hours. It’s magical what the outdoors does for us as individuals. Imagine what it could do for your business and the community! *you do not have to shoot clays if you don't want to, but would still like to visit and meet people. We also have a trained/certified Range Safety Officer with us at all times while on the range and plenty of people to help with anyone newer to shooting clays there for their first time.

This group is run by volunteers of Creative Society - Coordinationation Center of Michigan. Socially active members that are ready to connect with others, share ideas and build local communities. Our objective is to share your business, any good and uplifting news, foster strong relationships, strengthen local businesses, and spotlight small local nonprofits that are making a significant impact. Thisis a platform to exchange contacts, nurture collaborations to spread positivity locally & worldwide.

Outdoor Afro is a community that reconnects and centers the Black experience with natural spaces and one another through recreational activities such as camping, hiking, biking, birding, fishing, gardening, skiing — and more! We use social media to create interest communities, events, and to help shift the visual representation of who gets outdoors. Here is where you can start (or expand) connecting with local Black people who share your outdoor interests and aspirations! This space centers Black people and Black joy in the outdoors. Black outdoor experiences, voices, history and context are centered and we say "**Black**" a lot. Non-Black people may attend if space is available, but if the amplification of Black joy and community makes you uncomfortable - this group will be a restless experience for you. We recommend another forum or creating one of your own.

**MDOH** Do you like being outdoors and active? Give us a try. We are outside four seasons of the year with lots of hiking, some canoeing, camping and x-c skiing. This Meetup is a project of the local Sierra Club Group--[Southeast Michigan Group](http://www.sierraclub.org/michigan/southeast-michigan) (SEMG), a part of the [Michigan Chapter](http://www.sierraclub.org/michigan) of National Sierra Club, one of the oldest environmental activist organizations in the US.  The project is designed to give metro-Detroiters outdoor experiences with the hope that they will be motivated to be more concerned about our natural environment and perhaps decide to join Sierra Club.  At each outdoor activity, participants are asked to sign a liability waiver and pay a $1 fee which helps cover the cost of the Meetup website and other SEMG Outings Committee expenses. Important information about how MDOH operates is at the **Details** section, below.  Please read it before participating.  Also read the activity description and assess your ability/preparedness to complete the activity. While the summary of the outing may say that "location information is not available," in reality, it is ALWAYS in the description of the outing. Simply click the "more" link at the end of the description; there is usually a link to a Google map. Questions? Contact the leader who is listed in the activity description (Note: the leader may not be the same as the host).  Don’t wait until the night or morning before as all leaders are not "connected" 24/7 (and some don't offer a public cell number). No pets or electronic gear (please limit cell phone use to "essential"). If you ride-share, share the cost of gas and any admissions (Note:  nearly all parks require a season pass or an admission fee). **DETAILS** **Leaders** Your organizers and leaders are  volunteers with informal and formal training, experienced in taking people to the places we know and love the best. We each have differing interests and the outings that each of us leads reflect this. Some events are strictly hiking, some stop to smell (and ID) the roses, some look for birds, some focus on natural history. We also do some canoeing, backpacking, biking and cross-country skiing. **Personal Responsibility** Each participant needs to be responsible for his or her own safety by accurately judging whether they are fit for the activity they are interested in. Hikes generally are from 4-6 miles long, lasting from 2-3 hours, usually with a couple of rest/water/trail snack stops. Hikes with birding or botanizing generally are shorter and slower. Longer hikes, 8-10 miles are faster with fewer stops. A reasonable amount of fitness is necessary even for the slowest, shortest hikes. Three miles in the woods even at a slow speed is different - and harder - than a 2-hour walk on sidewalks/streets/bike paths. Hills, roots, rocks, mud and other natural features require a certain amount of stamina and balance. Children are welcome with a responsible adult, if they are able to behave appropriately and complete the activity. **Meeting Places and Costs** The meetup starts at a meeting place (often a shopping center) where people can leave their car if they decide to travel together to the trailhead. After the activity there often is an optional restaurant stop, which gives another opportunity to get to know your companions. If you ride with someone, you are expected to share in the cost of transportation and group admittance fees. Sierra Club also requests a $1 donation per person to help with our committee expenses. (There may be additional fees for outings longer than one day). Please note that the official start of the activity is at the trailhead and not the meeting spot – this is for liability reasons. **Basic Guidelines** (1) arrive on time for the meeting; departure follows after signup and announcements (2) come dressed appropriately: sturdy footwear; water; snack; sunscreen/insect repellant; hat; raingear. Inappropriate clothing or gear may affect others’ enjoyment of the activity and may put you and them in danger. (3) be aware that a 2 hour hike can take considerably longer even without unexpected delays so plan accordingly: driving time, gearing up, pit stops, hiking, pit stops, gearing down, driving home (4) always stay behind the leader and in front of the “sweep” in voice communication range (5) in order not to interfere with others’ enjoyment of our natural environment, electronic/communications gear should be left at home; cell phones should be silenced and their use strictly limited (emergencies, not grocery lists!) (6) if you need a bathroom/water/snack/rest break, let the leader know so all can stop and avoid leaving you behind. Besides, there are probably others who need the break, also. (7) if you are falling behind, call up to the person ahead to get the leader to stop/slow (8) Follow all the usual rules listed by our public parks. **Liability Waiver** All participants must sign a comprehensive liability waiver acknowledging that they are responsible for their own well-being and absolving others of liability. This is necessary because there are inherent risks in outdoor activities in which injuries or damages can occur from: • natural causes • obstacles and hazards • insect or animal bites • toxic plants • medical emergencies without easily obtainable medical care • actions of other persons We are a committee of the local Sierra Club (Southeast Michigan Group [SEMG]) and have been doing outings in metro-Detroit for many years. This meet-up is our latest – and most high-tech – means to share our program with other outdoor-lovers. Our website is [www.sierraclub.org/michigan/southeast-michigan](http://www.sierraclub.org/michigan/southeast-michigan) . Many of us are also involved in conservation and environmental issues with the Club – it will be up to you to decide if your interests also go in that direction. If they do, we would be glad to help you get connected to the right folks. Do you like being outdoors and active? Give us a try. We are outside four seasons of the year with lots of hiking, some canoeing, camping and x-c skiing. Joanne7925, MDOH Organizer

Please join us in supporting local charities and non-profit groups.  These groups do so much for our community and we want them to know that we support them.  This is a way to get active, have fun, and meet new people! We will organize volunteer opportunities throughout Metro Detroit, offering group members a good variety of hand-on activities to participate in.  All of our activities will be in the evenings or on the weekends making them convenient for people who work during the day. Most of our volunteer projects require that we work as a team.  Projects are often planned based on the number of volunteers expected, because of this it is important that if you sign-up, you show-up.  If you get 3 no-shows you will be removed from this group.  Make sure to update your RSVP at least 24 hours in advance if you can no longer attend an event. Check out our https://www.facebook.com/goodkarmaclub/  **Good News Club Guidelines & Rules** The first rule of GNC is respect.  Show respect for your fellow volunteers, respect the organization that we are there to help, and most importantly show the utmost respect to any individuals that are seeking help at these organizations. The second rule of GNC is that if you sign-up, show-up.  Any members that acquire 3 no-shows will politely be removed from the group. Always look or ask for a sign-in sheet at events so that you don’t get marked as a no-show by mistake.  Give both your name and your GNC screen name on sign in sheet if they are different. When events are full that means that no additional members can attend.  This is often a number set by the non-profit based on space limitations.  Do not attend events that you weren’t able to RSVP for.  Watch for spots to open up the day before or the day of. We ask that members attend at least one event per year.  Any members that choose not to participate for over a year will be politely removed from the group. Each non-profit organization has its own rules.  These may include a dress code, age limits, interaction with the organizations clientele, etc.  You will be informed of the organizations rules and we ask that you respect them. *"This is why I have never stopped praying for you since I heard about you. I ask God that you may know what He wants you to do. I ask God to fill you with the wisdom and understanding the Holy Spirit gives. Then your lives will please the Lord. You will do every kind of good work, and you will know more about God."* Colossians 1:9-10
