Outdoor activities groups near Dover, NH

This group is a way to expand your Christian social circle in the Seacoast area. It's an activity club for people who follow Jesus. Our events will primarily be game nights, dinners, Christian concerts and worship nights. Members should live in the Seacoast area so we can build an active group. Towns include: Portsmouth, Hampton, Exeter, Rye, Seabrook, New Castle, Stratham, Newington, Newmarket, Kittery, York, Eliot

Enjoy meeting new people and making friends while outdoors, this group is for you! Centered on the NH seacoast with a variety of outdoor activities. Join us and meet fun engaging people in a relaxed environment.

Hi all! My intention is for this to be a very friendly group of people (at least nearing 40 if not over) who love to do local things outdoors and fun activities indoors. I've lived in this county for the better part of 20 years and am finding there's lots to EXPLORE right here! Hiking the White Mountains is great, but this group will provide many options closer to home for outdoor fun. We'll have occasional distant excursions as well though. During the colder months, we'll do lots of active indoor activities too! Bring your sense of adventure as this will be MY first time doing some of these walks/hikes!  And since I have a deep intellectual side, I'd also like to plan some discussions on topics of interest like or maybe even have guest speakers... A note on the current state of meetup affairs as it compares to R.O.A.M.:  Because I'm concerned about the impact on the environment of bringing a huge group of people on a nature trail and because I feel huge groups negatively impact the experience of others who are trying to enjoy the beauty and quiet of the outdoors, our groups are limited to 20-25 people.  While Mountain National Forest Rules recommend all groups be limited to 10 people and and require the limitation in designated "wilderness" areas. We also will never charge annual dues or membership fees, claiming that it helps with the cost of running a meetup group (seriously...collecting a $15 annual fee from thousands of members is a money making venture, not a group of friends getting together).  This groups operates in the original spirit of meetup. We do this because we love to and want to share it! Please join if Rockingham County destinations are convenient for you, you love friendly people and you love to have fun!  

Please join us for some fun, friends and paddling! Meet other local paddlers and outdoors enthusiasts! This meet-up was started for kayakers to get connected with others who share the enjoyment of kayaking. We are mostly beginner and intermediate paddlers, but all levels and ages welcome! Our main passion is kayaking but because we all love the outdoors you will see non-kayak trips posted on our calendar!

Since we have a diverse group of organizers you can find the type of trip that fits your energy level for that day. Our most popular trips are the leisurely paddle exploring New Hampshire’s beautiful lakes and slow moving rivers, with plenty of wildlife viewing and socializing. Sorry no white water!

This is a meet-up so there is no membership fee! We encourage members to get involved by posting trip ideas and leaving feedback on trips they have taken with us! If you do not have a kayak yet you will need to rent one and transport it to the put in site. 98% of the places we put do not have rentals at them.

Hope to see you all on the water! J

Are you new in town? Not a native New Hampshire-ite? Are you lifelong local who likes meeting new people with different perspectives? Please join us! This Meetup was started for New Hampshire transplants. Now the group is a mix of those newly arrived, transplants who have been here for years, and lifelong locals who enjoy the mix. The goal of this group is to create an environment for making new friends and creating new experiences for those making their home in and around Seacoast New Hampshire. We enjoy trivia competitions, sunrises at the ocean, trips on walking trails, historical activities, karaoke, brunch featuring live music, movies, bingo, museum adventures, picnics and more! Never hesitate to offer up a suggestion for an activity to your organizers! One of the fun things we do is if the group wins a prize at a trivia event or similar event we collect the prize and add it to our annual picnic drawing event we do in the summer. For every time you attend one of our meetup activities as an active dues paying member you are entered into the drawing. **Please be considerate of other attendees and venues. First of all, only sign up if you've checked your calendar and are sure you can make it. Do not take a slot if you might join us. As always, if there is a wait list, your organizer team is quick to expand our numbers if the venue permits.

Trailblazers was formed as a result of unmarried people looking for a singles social group involved in a variety of fun activities. Trailblazers provide a wide range of activities for single adults as well as opportunities to meet new friends. It also gives a sense of community and comradery. The club is not a dating service however. Trailblazers has no political or religious orientations. The club is propelled by member involvement at the monthly meetings and other events. The Trailblazers can be found hamming it up at the zoo, attending murder mysteries, bowling, or just holding serious discussions about topics of interest. They hold picnics at least four times a year, and have elaborate parties, some in masquerade. Trailblazers isn't a singles club for those who like to meet once a month for a meal and then go home to watch the early evening news. It's an Adventurous Outing Club for Singles who enjoy traveling to places, hiking mountains, kayaking in the surf, sailing, skiing, etc . Trailblazers lives up to the name, blazing trails through camp-outs in state parks, murder mystery parties, to new friendships for people of every age. ## What we're about Group Rules: \- Membership fees are $5 for the year\, Members who regularly volunteer to organize events will be exempt\. \- We usually have a long waiting list so please make sure to update your RSVP if you are not going to attend\, Members with repeated last minute cancellation will be removed from the Group\. \- We comply with all State\, Town or Restaurant regulations when it comes to COVID\, please make sure you are Vaccinated and wear your mask when prompted or required\.

OpenStreetMap is Wikipedia for maps. Anybody can edit the data, and there are many applications that use it. Application developers find it useful because *all* of the underlying data is available (unlike Google Maps), with few restrictions, all for free. Everyday people enjoy contributing to OpenStreetMap by keeping their area of the map up to date. It can be a hobby, it can be a social activity, and it's fulfilling to see your changes show up on the map knowing that others can use it in the future. We welcome anybody who is interested in learning about how to contribute to or use OpenStreetMap, and anyone who wants to get together with others who are already contributing. We will have editing parties which will start with a tutorial for anybody new, and involve walking around town adding features to the map. For programmers or data nerds we can have more technical meetups talking about how to use the data for projects. And maybe an occasional simple meet and greet with no agenda.
