Outdoor activities groups near Port Jervis, NY

Get togethers to walk, lite hike and movement throughout the year. Some outdoor walks and some online.

Welcome Adventurers! If you love hiking, swimming, kayaking, camping & backpacking and generally the outdoors all year round, then this is the group for you! My favorite type of hike is one where we explore and linger at a reasonable pace. I love mapping and creating new hikes. I live smack in the middle of all 3 borders of PA, NJ & NY and am acquainted with many of the parks in my surrounding vicinity! You will see a variety of parks that we will frequent. This is mostly a hiking group. We will post hiking events on a regular basis along with other events such as swiking (swim hikes), camping, kayaking & backpacking! ;) Just know that my usual MO is to explore. Things to know: * 1. **Hiking Difficulty Levels** \- Please know that you must be aware of your hiking level\. Most hikes will NOT \(or never\) be easy unless specified as "Easy"\. I am accustomed to posting information on the difficulty level of the hikes as well as the overall length of the hike\. * 2. **Group Etiquette:** Please note that for those who have a stringent time frame on a hike or who want to forage ahead and speed hike, you are welcome to leave the group but I am in no way responsible for you if you get lost. The group is under no obligation to keep up with extremely fast paced hikers. I have no problem cutting you loose and those who want to follow you, to travel at the pace that you please. * 3. **Disclaimer** \- As with all meetup events\, your participation is voluntary and you are under no obligation to participate or continue in any portion of any event\. You are responsible for your own well\-being\. By all means message me with any questions with anything that you feel may be pertinent. I am here all year round for you. PS - I also am an organizer of other groups but this is my main group that is primarily based near the Delaware Water Gap. This is where you will want to stay. With that being said, some of the events will be cross-posted onto my other groups so the number of attendees may be more than what you see. Please only RSVP once & ideally from this main group. Luv you guys! Thank you & hope to see you around! Ilene K.

I'm not an elite athlete by any means, but I like to get outside and hike and explore new areas -- even places that may require extra effort, stops to suck in some oxygen, and some Motrin for my knees when I'm done. But that's ok, it's the adventure and the people you meet you along the way that makes it all worth it. If you like to hike and participate in other outdoor activities and you're having a hard time finding fellow adventurers your age who still want to get out there, this is the place for you. No one gets left behind ever! No money will be collected. Hikes organized all year round - there's gear for cold weather, hot and humid, rain and snow - though safety will always be a consideration. Sometimes the hard stuff is what makes life more fun!

If you are a single Christian who is interested in meeting and fellowshipping with other single Christians while engaging in wholesome activities, then please feel free to join this group. This is a new group so please join in while the first few meetings are being planned. Fellowship activities will be taking place in Orange County NY. Age range for this group is preferably between 30-50. Both men and women from all denominations and cultural backgrounds are welcome to join. Feel free to invite friends.

As my hero; Mr. David Steward, of World Wide Technologies, states we've will explored the benefits of new emerging market shifts.

Excerpt of the June 2001 issue of Black Enterprises; The 800 Million Dollar Man Story....

E-commerce is real. Just ask David Steward, CEO of World Wide Technology Inc., the largest black-owned business in the nation. Last year, Steward's customers point-and-clicked his information technology (IT) products and services firm to $802 million in revenues

Steward says; "it all comes down to what products and services you choose to offer over the Web, and the strategic alliances and relationships you enter into to deliver them."

"We have a one-stop shop; because it has made the value of accessing information services and ordering products online a competitive advantage for its customers. "We provide a central line to warehousing, distribution and integration services, and supply-chain management services that a company can't get anywhere else."

"Those companies that are able to invest in the Web technology, the supply-chain management systems, and electronic procurement logistics systems have an opportunity to define vertical market spaces," "In the process of defining those market spaces, they'll have a competitive advantage and a whole new frontier that they will have an opportunity to dominate."

TOGETHER LETS DISCOVER & ACTIVATE THESE NEW PRINCIPLES of TRUE SUCCESS!

Stay tuned for the notification of our newly scheduled weekly Conference Call, webinars & various events to really create a certain culture of supporting all members’ endeavors to Build Business, Careers & become very Successful.

Welcome to The Variety Seekers! Are you someone who loves trying new things but finds it hard to stick with just one hobby? This might be the group for you! We’re all about small, one-off adventures that make for great stories and suitable work discussion topics. The goal is just to make friends, have fun, and have people to hang out with who are interested in participating in various experiences. There are currently no fees and this group is not associated with any business or organization. If we do something that costs money for now it will just be you paying whomever is hosting us. For example if we go out to eat you would just pay your bill to the restaurant, if we go hot air ballooning then you just pay the hot air balloon place. Events that don't cost anything will simply have no fees. I started this group because my wife isn't keen on going out, and I get bored easily. I realized I didn't want to stick with the same activities or the same groups all the time. So, if you’re like me and enjoy a wide variety of activities, come join us! The only caveat I need to add here is that I'm currently expecting everyone to be over 18, some locations may require you to even be 21. I'm not prepared to treat anyone in any way except as an adult. Here are just a few examples of what we might do: ``` Boating and water skiing Cookouts Kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding Urban exploring in NYC Hiking anywhere Trying new restaurants Shooting archery and clays Cooking, Grilling World travel and weekend road trips Board games and trips to places like Barcade Even random humanitarian activities ``` Think of this group as a “choose your own adventure.” I’ll post the activities I plan to do, and you’re welcome to join me. If you have ideas for activities, let me know, and I’ll see if we can add them to the list. Ideally, others will also suggest and organize events, so we have a diverse range of activities and meetups. Let’s explore, try new things, and enjoy a variety of adventures together!

Are you a writer or illustrator?

At our events, in addition to working on our own projects, we will get the opportunity to network with and support other artists.

Meetings will take place in Sussex County, NJ. Our meetups will be relatively small. These groups are to be warm, welcoming and enjoyable. We will meet at a local coffee shop or restaurant where we can feel free to eat, drink, share and work.

The first fifteen minutes can be utilized for introductions, updates and the like. Then, let’s spend an hour or so working... together or separately, in the company of one another. Those who wish to break off and chat can feel free to do so. We can close the night together with some more conversation or simply continue working on our projects as we see fit.

Let’s get together to meet, talk, write and illustrate.

Let’s support one another & ourselves in these activities that are so near and dear to us, so much a part of who we are!

NOTE: By attending ANY meeting, you agree that you are doing so AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Welcome nature lovers and fellow hikers! Let's get outside and enjoy the stunning mountains and forests of Sussex County! Our events will primarily be hikes taking place at local state parks, trails, and the beautiful Stokes State Forest. Other events may be boating, picnicking, campfires, and more! Our hiking vibe: Generally ranging from 2-4 miles, hikes will be for beginner and/or intermediate levels.  We will stay together as a group at a moderate pace, enjoying good company and conversation along the way. Expect to periodically stop on our journey to appreciate our spectacular natural surroundings. Membership is free but there will be a suggested donation at events to offset group costs. I look forward to meeting you and enjoying the great outdoors together!  I hope you'll join us soon!

**History and Activities of the Colonel Henry Ryerson Civil War Round Table – Newton, New Jersey** The concept of organizing a civil war round table in Sussex County started in September back in 2003 with a first meeting at the Sussex County Community College, spearheaded by then College president Brad Gottfried.  A Civil War Round Table is an independent organization that shares a common objective in promoting and expanding interest in the study of the military, political, and sociological history of the American Civil War.  There are hundreds of such organizations throughout the United States, with some in other countries as well.  Our organization became a recognized not-for-profit with the State of New Jersey and has a duly elected Board of Trustees and Officers.   At those first few meetings there was much discussion about a name for the group.  Many sided heavily for the General Judson Kilpatrick Civil War Round Table – the General having been born and raised in Wantage Township within Sussex County.  In the end it was decided that the group would be named after Colonel Henry Ryerson, a resident of Newton during the war who helped recruit, and then volunteered with, the 2nd NJ Volunteer Infantry regiment.  He was fatally injured at the Battle of the Wilderness in 1864 in Virginia, and is buried in the Old Newton Burial Grounds in Newton, New Jersey.   Each year since then the group has met in September, October, November, January, February, March, April, and May, first at the College, then at the Main Branch of the Sussex County Library, after that in the Town Hall room at Bristol Glen United Methodist Community off Route 206, and currently back at the Sussex County Community College in Newton.  Our accommodations at the College are superb with easy parking, a spacious room, and good audio/visual capabilities.  Our regular meetings start at 7:30 p.m. on the third Tuesday of those months listed above (except for May when we meet at a local restaurant).   At each meeting we have a professor, author or artist, historian, reenactor, or other expert give a presentation that lasts approximately an hour.  Past local speakers have included Dr. Heidi Weber, County Historian Wayne McCabe, and author Dr. Peter Lubrecht.  Regionally and nationally known speakers have included Bill Styple, Joe Truglio, and David Martin.  One year we had actor / historian Patrick Falci give a memorable presentation as General A.P. Hill.   Each year in January we have our Annual Movie Night and have watched notable (and lesser known) movies that have included Buster Keaton’s silent classic *The General*, *The Red Badge of Courage* with Audie Murphy, and more recently we watched *The Hunley* with Armand Assante and Donald Sutherland and *The Raid* with Van Heflin and Anne Bancroft.   Twice a year the group organizes a Civil War Tour, most of which occur in Gettysburg and its environs, though we have met at Antietam, Monocacy, Arlington Cemetery, Fort Delaware between Delaware and New Jersey, and Harpers Ferry.  At the tours the Round Table picks up the cost of the Tour Guide.  We give special attention to our New Jersey monuments at Gettysburg and at times have been recognized for our maintenance around these monuments by the Gettysburg National Military Park.   One of the highlights of our year is the annual Dinner Meeting in May.  It has been held in various locations throughout the County including Sheridan’s, Lafayette House, The Lamp Post, and one notable year at The Sacred Heart Center in Newton.   The Round Table is a member of the League of NJ Historical Societies, and our members have participated in numerous local events such as the Sussex Historical Society’s Newton Burial Grounds Tour, Sussex County History Day, and the Sussex County Farm and Horse Show with a display booth.   Funds to run the organization and help defray costs are only collected from annual dues, a book raffle at each meeting, and donations.  The Board and Officers receive no renumeration for their time or efforts.  Though meetings can easily number 30 attendees, paid memberships average about 20.   Now in existence as a historical group in the County for almost twenty years, the Round Table has been a place for people who enjoy history, the Civil War, and the 19th Century to get together to discuss and enjoy that aspect of our nation’s history.  Our meetings are free and open to the public.  All who are interested are encouraged to attend!  For more information about the Round Table, please contact Jennifer during the day at 201-320-5989. ## Jennifer CS Brylinski Past President, Colonel Henry Ryerson Civil War Round Table January 30, 2023

Dharma Drum Retreat Center (DDRC) was founded by the renowned scholar and teacher of Chan Buddhism, Chan Master Sheng Yen. We are located in Pine Bush, New York, 90 miles northwest of New York City. Our campus lies below the ecologically protected Shawangunk Ridge amid 125 acres of woods and meadowland. A tributary of the Verkeerder Kill flows from below Sam’s Point Preserve on the ridge down through the property, where it forms a tranquil pond (Murray Pond) not far from the Chan hall. The center is maintained by staff members and volunteers who, together with our strong faculty of lay and monastic teachers, aim to provide a home of Buddhist practice and learning for everyone. Whether for a few hours or a few weeks, we offer a range of activities to suit your interests and needs. We welcome your inquiries.
