Outdoor activities groups near New Windsor, NY
Hike Putnam and Beyond
Lake Peekskill, NY
Welcome to Hike Putnam and Beyond.
This group consists of people who enjoy hiking at a relaxed pace. Join us for some wonderful outdoor activities with some nice people. We will explore trails in the area, mostly in Putnam, Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Fairfield, Litchfield, and Duchess Counties, as well as other locations from time to time. Non hiking events may also be scheduled. While you should have a reasonable level of fitness, hiking experience is not necessary. Most of our hikes will be relaxed but moderate in pace, distance & terrain. There may be some more challenging trails included too. I will provide details and links for each hike - please use the information provided to decide if the hike is right for your needs and level of fitness. I think we should all have a good time on these hikes. For more information, please read the About Us pages http://hiking.meetup.com/370/about/
Hudson Valley Forest Therapy / Forest Bathing / Hiking
Cold Spring, NY
This is a group for anyone who wants to spend some time away from the many distractions and stresses in life. It is a time to turn off the phones and enjoy the present moment in the woods with no objective other than to allow ourselves that moment of self-care. Hikes will vary from easy to intense to allow all levels of experience and health. Short wanderings, day hikes, or over-night/weekend retreats available and lead by a trained life coach. Inexperienced hikers most welcome!
Forest Bathing or Forest Therapy is not a traditional therapy session. The forest is the therapist and we are all present to allow ourselves a moment of self-care, free from the distractions and stress of our daily modern lives. I'll be sharing more on this soon!
This is intended to be a safe and judgement free zone. There is no specific "type" of person for this group other than someone who feels the need to get outdoors. Professionals, stay at home parents, New Age types, non New Age types.. pretty much anyone who is respectful is welcome!
Private sessions are available and I invite you to help build a supportive community of others seeking peace of mind.

Trail Dames of the Lower Hudson Valley
Monroe, NY
Trail Dames is hiking club for women of a curvy nature. However, all women are welcome! The Dames are a group of women who are looking for a chance to get out and see the beauty that this world has to offer. We hike slowly, enjoying every second, because we know that it is not the destination that is important, but the journey. And when we reach the top of every mountain, you will find us doing the "Dance of the Real Woman" and celebrating the life that is in us all!

A message from your Head Dames:
Originally The Trail Dames of New York, we realized that it made sense to split into two sister chapters--The Trail Dames of the Lower Hudson Valley and The Trail Dames of the Capital District, both extensions of the original Trail Dames group out of Duluth, Georgia. We are a growing national movement working to empowering all women on and off the trail! Come out and meet us!
For more info about Trail Dames and our sister organization, the Trail Dames Charitable Foundation go to www.traildames.com. We invite you to come try a few hikes with us! Then once you are hooked, join us as a member. 100% of funds go towards the organization, and no member, leader, or Head Dame is paid for their time. Trail Dames, Inc. is a 501©7 non-profit organization.
Feel free to join both New York Meetups and cover more of New York State with Carrieann and Rebecca (or Bec as most people call her.)
