Outdoor activities groups near New City, NY

This group is perfect for those looking to make new friends or sick and tired of dating apps, enjoy Russian parties and events, outdoor activities like picnics, hiking, and kayaking, museums, concerts. Whether you're a native Russian speaker or just looking to practice your language skills, this group offers the opportunity to have conversations in Russian and connect with like-minded individuals. Everybody else is welcome too!!! We speak English. Join us for some fun and exciting adventures while immersing yourself in Russian culture and making lifelong friendships. The group already exists on Facebook: Виталик \| Встречи и общение \| Russian meetups in NY and NJ https://www.facebook.com/groups/russianmeetups and we are looking to add more members. Unlike other groups, we know each other and meet in person very often. Sometimes several times a week. Please note that we will have all discussions and events in our group on Facebook so I highly recommend to join us on Facebook ASAP.

This group is for anyone who loves fun, local events, international trips, outdoors activities, and for travelers who don’t want to wait on their friends to finally say “yes” to travel. Life is too short and the world is too big! The trips in this group are usually 90% solo travelers but everyone is welcome, female/male, solo/couple/friends, straight/LGBTQIA+! So let’s travel together with fun, like-minded travelers! If you have an open mind and are kind to fellow travelers, you will fit in perfectly on these trips! **The local events in this group are member-driven** so if you’d like to host a Meetup in your area (i.e. a hike, walk, pickleball, brunch, happy hour, day trip, etc), feel free to let me know and I'll help you get it set up in the group! **NOTE:** The people on these trips are from all over the States but you’ll always be connected with people from the same city on a trip so you can meet up face to face and get to know your future travel buddies prior to the trip. You’ll also be connected to the whole group via email prior to the trip so you can virtually get to know those that are from different areas. On average, the people on each trip are 90% solo travelers but it’s hard to predict the exact demographic for each trip so please keep this in mind. Feel free to join the Facebook group to connect with past travelers on these trips, see pictures, ask questions, funny travel memes, travel-related articles, etc.: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/613025845523107](https://www.facebook.com/groups/613025845523107) The trips in this group are put on by a tour company called Globe Drifters and they focus on small group trips geared towards solo travelers with the mission of giving new meaning to travel by putting the human experience at the heart of their trips. The groups are small, usually with 12 people maximum per trip and about 90% of everyone on each trip are solo travelers so you’re not stuck being the odd man out on trips with mostly couples. You’ll have the best of both worlds, solo travel with the security of a small group of other solo travelers for some company on your adventure! To contact Globe Drifters directly, you can email [info@globe-drifters.com](mailto:info@globe-drifters.com).

This group is operated by the Adirondack Mountain Club, Inc. 10/01/2024 **ABOUT US:**  The **[North Jersey Ramapo Chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club](http://www.adknjr.org)**, an outdoor recreation and conservation group founded more than 100 years ago, sponsors hikes of different levels and other events on weekends, Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the year. Hike destinations in the scenic and historic Hudson Highlands region of New York and New Jersey include Sterling Forest, Ramapo Reservation, Harriman-Bear Mountain State Park, Norvin Green, Black Rock Forest and the West/East Hudson trails. Special outings may involve trips to other destinations, such as the Catskills and Adirondack Mountains.  A full hike schedule can be viewed on our website at **[adknjr.org](http://www.adknjr.org)**, and some hikes and announcements are also posted on our **[Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/pages/North-Jersey-Ramapo-ADK/113791815368324)** page. Note that this hike is part of a larger group, the NJR ADK. Most hikers sign up via our outings schedule at https://hudsonhikers.org/hike-schedule/ and not through Meetup, so though the number of attendees may appear small, we generally have a group of 8-20 on any given hike. **MEMBERS:**  Members are a diverse group of men and women of all ages, families and outdoor enthusiasts, those interested in a workout, and people who want to enjoy beautiful vistas in good company. **After attending two hikes/events,** you must join the [Adirondack Mountain Club (ADK) ](http://www.adk.org/page.php?pname=join-renew)to support our outdoor recreation and conservation activities.  Membership comes with a variety of benefits including, among other things: a 10% discount at Ramsey Outdoor; our annual holiday party and social; special events such as our quarterly membership meetings and guest speakers, a subscription to ADK’s bi-monthly magazine, Adirondac; the opportunity to contribute to the preservation and extension of hiking lands and viewsheds in our region. To join as a member, visit https://adk.org/become-a-member/ **OUR HIKES:** New hikers are strongly encouraged to select hikes appropriate to their capabilities. North Jersey Ramapo Chapter hikes are rated for pace (A, B or C), mileage, and terrain (A, B or C), with "C" designating easier hikes and "A" more challenging ones. We recommend that new hikers should first try a "C" or short "B" hike before undertaking a more difficult one; otherwise, you may not fully enjoy the hiking experience. If you have any doubts, please contact the hike leader in advance.   ***Pace Ratings:***     A = Fast - 2.5 mph or faster    B = Moderate - about 2 mph    C = Easy - 1.5 mph or less    ***Distance:*** Noted in miles   ***Terrain Ratings:***     A = Strenuous, long/steep climbs and descents, possible rock scrambling    B = Moderate climbs and descents    C = Generally flat with little elevation change  For example, a hike rated “B-7-A” is a moderately paced hike of approximately 7 miles with steep climbs and/or descents and possible rock scrambling.  If you join us for a hike, please understand that you are responsible for your own preparedness, including ensuring that the hike is appropriate for your level of fitness, that you wear the proper clothing (moisture wicking, extra layers, no jeans/sneakers) and bring the proper gear (see the ADK's recommended **[Hiking Essentials](http://www.adk.org/page.php?pname=hiking-essentials)**), food and at least two liters of water.  Leaders have the right, responsibility and sole discretion to refuse any hiker he/she deems to be not properly attired, prepared, or otherwise fit to safely complete the hike.  If you have any questions about our hikes or other North Jersey Ramapo chapter activities, please send us an e-mail at **[info@adknjr.org](mailto:info@adknjr.org)** or post on our message board. **HIKERS' GUIDELINES:** ***Risks:*** As with all physical activities, hiking involves hazards.

Do not wear cotton garments in winter.     ***Drink and Food:*** Adequate hydration is important year round. Drink frequently during the hike.
