Outdoor activities groups near Carmel, NY

Meetup with Hikers and just down to earth people.  Join us to hit the trail, concert, movie, or any other type of event we can think up.  If you'd like to lead a hike or host an event, then please let me know.

Please wear appropriate hiking shoes and ALWAYS bring plenty of water and at least one snack!!

Are you the first one in your group to retire? Are your friends still working, leaving you feeling adrift? Let's get together for affordable activities in our neighborhood. This group is about daytime hiking in Connecticut State parks, taking advantage of local playhouses, outlet shopping, dining at the Gilson Theater, lunching, varied weekday activities and whatever the group might want to do.

- A member will be automatically remanded to the waitlist if he/she cancels more than twice on the day of the event.

- A member will be automatically remanded to the waitlist if he/she has two event no shows.

Strong friendships enrich our lives and improve our health, unfortunately, it isn't so easy to build and maintain good friendships. This group has been started to bring together ladies who are seeking deeper friendships and are willing to commit to being vulnerable, coming out of your comfort zone to meet new people and making time for regular activities and get togethers.
Do you have friends but still feel isolated or not connected? If you are ready to invest the time and truly seek opportunities to build more and better friendships this group is for you.
This group will meet regularly for coffee, lunch or dinners. We also plan to organize random get togethers such as walks, hikes, kayaking, or game nights. The sky is the limit for this group and I look forward to meeting you and creating a great group that will be rewarding for all!

Hudson Valley History Hikers is a unique Meet Up group that focuses on exploring the wealth of historical places located within the Valley's woodlands and elsewhere. Vanished hamlets, mines, ruined estates, cemeteries, homesteads, farms, forgotten woodland roads, and other unique places will be explored. In addition, the hikes will focus on the diverse natural beauty of the Valley. Mt. views, lakes, streams, vistas, unique woodlands, and even beavers will be sought out. **Full disclosure: This group is meant for EXPERIENCED, COMMITTED hikers who are PASSIONATE about history, nature, and exploration.** The pace will be steady, but not fast or slow. There will be numerous brief pauses for history, nature, or otherwise fascinating encounters. Expect off the beaten path, unmarked trails, off trails, nooks, and crannies. There will be several hikes each season, but not weekly, or bi-weekly. The group's size will ALWAYS be limited. This is because it is impractical to do history pauses, which is a form of outdoor education, for very large typical Meet-Up sized groups. Also, because of regular off trail and bushwhacking, it is unsafe and impractical to have a large group. ***Members who sign up for an event are EXPECTED TO ATTEND*** No- Shows, late changes of rsvp's and a lack of commitment are contrary to what this group is about, and will risk deletion from our group.  Liability waiver must be signed at the meet up. Let's go find some cool stuff! Welcome!!

We have only a few rules that have been instigated by Members request. IT IS IMPORTANT TO READ.

 OUR ATTENDANCE POLICY:  1.  2 no-shows will result in removal from our group.

                                                   2.  3 late cancellations, the day before an event, are akin to no-shows, and will result in removal.

                                                   3.  Signing up for 5 events, and even if you timely change your rsvp, but never                                                             actually attend an event, will result in removal. 

Members with an attendance issue may contact the Organizer directly by clicking on his profile, then message.   

                                                    * My changing rsvp's: I reserve the right to change any Member's rsvp based on a Member's attendance, abilities or past behavior. Also, I will remove anyone from an event if I learn that they have multiple booked themselves on other groups events at the same time. That mentality is contrary to what we're trying to accomplish. If I change an rsvp it's always with the group's best interest in mind and certainly never personal.

                                                    * Members who attend an event are expected to stay with the group at all times. It is UNACCEPTABLE to run ahead, lag behind, or separate yourself. History Hikes are group shared experiences. 

                                                    * Everyone who attends an event is expected to READ ALL THE EVENT"S DESCRIPTION and BE PREPARED, or risk being turned away.

                                                    * There are never early outs except for unexpected emergencies. 

                                                    * A representative profile, with a picture of yourself and name are expected. Non-representative profiles may result in being removed from events, or the group itself.

Cure for Boredom is just what it sounds like. We are about building better times.
People getting up and out and finding new friends and events to enjoy and share. Curing your boredom exploring new horizons.
I was looking to form the perfect group and did but then I joined, and it was not perfect anymore 😉 ha-ha
So here we are looking to make life better by making memories and good friends. YES YOU! You should join and meet new people and find some events or activities that interest you. I hope that this group would have a variety of activities and events. If you join and really like an idea or have a suggestion then that is great and encouraged as any good group is a shared experience and your desire may just be the thing that someone else is looking to try or do.
Some ideas are music venues , hiking , trivia event , bowling , pool parties, Fire Pit nights , skiing , travel and diners , charities, pet friendly, billiards, boating , golf, concerts, comedy nights, biking ,social, health and living, wineries and breweries, kick ball games ………. And many many more. Now all of that may not be posted all the time but as this group grows it should be known that the many interest varieties of the members should be offered and made available.
Life is good and sometimes it could be better to find fun things to do with others. Fun without boarders so that we are not boxed in and you could also expand your boundaries to explore new areas and even meet new people.
Just remember that any group is only as good as its members. So, you are so awesome that I was going to name the group AFTER YOU! 😊 then you could have told everyone that you joined a group that was named “After You” 😉
Cheers!
