Outdoor activities groups near Cleveland, OH

The Chagrin Falls Dads' Club is a bunch of dudes who get together on a monthly basis, plan community events and fundraisers and help out with the community. We vote on ideas to do around the community and then implement them. This includes Bocce tournmants, Poker Tournaments, Parade Floats, "Paint Chagrin" night, family picnics, and outdoor adventures. Its Open to all guys in locally (even if you live a bit outside Chagrin or aren't even a Dad). The bottom line is its a great way to meet people in the area and do some real good for the community as well.

Mosaic Outdoor Club of Northeast Ohio, founded 1998, is the Ohio chapter of a network of non-profit, volunteer groups dedicated to organizing outdoor, active, recreational, social and environmental events for Jewish adults. Mosaic serves Jews of all ages, both married and single, who share a love for nature and the outdoors. Based in Cleveland, we have events throughout the Northeast Ohio area, including hiking, bicycling, canoeing, skiing, skating, camping, rock climbing, horseback riding, dinners and much, much more!!!

Mosaic Outdoor Club of Northeast Ohio membership is $18 per year. Non-members are welcome at most events, however we do charge a $2 non-member fee. You can pay any board member at your first event or contact us if you choose to send a membership check.  The money paid to these fees help to offset the expenses the club incurs.  These expenses include, but are not limited to, the money for this meet-up membership and any snacks or beverages the club may supply at get-togethers.

This group is for people who don’t want to wait on their friends to finally say “yes” to get out to enjoy events around Cleveland and see the world. Life is too short and the world is too big! **The local events in this group are member-driven** so if you’d like to host a Meetup in your area (i.e. hike, snorkel, take a walk/jog, play pickleball, go for a picnic, or any other outdoors activity), feel free to let me know and I'll help you get it set up in the group! 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! **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).

Meet with people who like outdoor adventures and athletic activities, such as hiking, exploring, kayaking, bicycling, snowshoeing, bowling, etc. All are welcome! A large, clear photo of yourself must be posted as your profile photo in order to be approved for membership. This helps organizers and attendees of an activity to identify you. There is no annual membership dues but a contribution does help defray the cost of our annual fee of approximately $190.00. A suggested contribution of $3.00-5.00 cash can be paid directly to any Event Organizer who can then get it to our Group Organizer. Please put it in an envelope marked with your name and amount. Your contribution is logged in under Money on our Meetup website so you can be assured it has been handled properly. Thanks.

If you like doing things outdoors and getting a cold beer afterward this group is for you! The goal of this group is to bring together like minded people who love nature and the outdoors as well as going to happy hours and socializing. As the name suggests, the geographic center of the events held by this group will be Cleveland Ohio, with perhaps a slight bias towards the East Side. Occasionally, more strenuous hikes will be planned which may be in the Columbus area or in Allegheny Mountains of Pennsylvania. In general, the hikes will be within a couple hours of Cleveland. This group places a strong emphasis on being inclusive of people of all fitness levels and welcoming newcomers. However, every now and then, we may go on more strenuous hikes that may not be appropriate for beginners, and we encourage you to consider your skill level and the event description before attending. However, regardless of your skill level, all are welcome!

**OUR MISSION:** After spending most of our lives traveling the world looking for adventure, Salli and I have found a new pastime - exploring our own backyard and having people join us in the fun. Our main purpose is simple: to bring together fun-loving people who not only enjoy getting out and discovering unique places, but also want to share their experiences with others. By attracting singles, couples and people from all age groups and ethnicities our hope is to create friendships that will last a lifetime. Our events will be varied and include visits to unique scenic areas that may not be familiar to most Clevelanders. Other activities will include kayaking local rivers, lake cruises, zipline courses, road trips, winter walks, wine and beer tastings, and seasonal attractions. Since there are plenty of purely hiking, biking and kayaking groups already out there, we do not plan to compete with them. Salli and I want our events to be done at a leisurely enough pace so that we can take the time to fully experience the places we visit. This will be our mission and how we will differ from other groups. **OUR ONLY REQUIREMENT:** The only requirement to membership is that you provide a REAL picture of yourself and a REAL name. No cartoons, nicknames or initials please! It causes a lot of unnecessary confusion at events when we don't know what somebody looks like and don't know their name. If you have a legitimate reason for not providing these please let me know, but I prefer having no exceptions. **FREE MEMBERSHIP:** I will never charge a fee to members of our group. Organizers should be able to pay for their own subscription. Meetup should be free to everyone! **ABOUT OUR "HIKES":** We are NOT a pure hiking group. Our "hikes" are not intended to be non-stop, cardio workouts. Walking for us is simply a mode of transportation - a way to access areas that have a particular scenic value. You can expect us to stop often to experience the surroundings, take pictures and maybe even have a conversation about what we are visiting. We will travel at no MORE than 3MPH (20 minute miles) and never leave anyone behind. If you need to move at a faster, non-stop pace or don't care about your surroundings, this is definitely not a group for you. **RESTAURANT POLICY:** I want to restrict restaurant attendance to those people who do the ENTIRE event. It is so difficult dealing with restaurants right now that I want to make sure that we have enough seating before allowing others to attend. Jeff & Salli events are never intended to be "restaurant only" so I hope you all understand. **ABOUT RSVPs:** Attendance at events is important to everybody. If you RSVP to something, please make every effort to attend and be on-time. If not, please do us a favor by changing it early enough so that we know you are not coming. It makes it very difficult to reserve space at certain venues when we don't have an accurate count. Also, if you have purchased a ticket and find out that you can't attend, please let me know and I can usually find someone who wants to buy your ticket before the day of the event. **RSVPing to PREPAID EVENTS:** If you are new to Meetup I need to explain how prepaid events work. Merely RSVPing to something doesn't guarantee you a seat or buy a ticket. It only tells an organizer that you are INTERESTED in attending. You still need to read the info on how to buy a ticket and complete that process before you can attend. RSVPs are simply a statement of interest and not a guarantee or ticket purchase. **NO-SHOWS:** These are always a problem with Meetups. There are so many people who will sign up for many events early and end up forgetting which ones they've committed to. I do not have a "3 no-shows and you are out" policy so please be considerate by committing to one event only and making sure you change your RSVPs to the others. **INJURY LIABILITY DISCLAIMER:** “Jeff & Salli's Excellent Adventures” group and its organizers are not responsible for your safety or well-being. Outdoor activities are inherently dangerous. The COVID-19 outbreak has added a new element of concern to events and it is entirely the member's responsibility to determine their own risk tolerance before attending.

Let's get ready to go out and do some exploring!

\*\*\*This group was started during the Covid Pandemic. Time to get back to living!!! Life sure has changed this year! Many of the fun things we want to be doing are on hold due to the Pandemic. Laughter, fun, friendships and making memories are still vitally important, even during these times. This group will have events in a safe, covid manner – mask wearing & social distanced when appropriate, hand sanitizer, attendee limits per Ohio mandates and outside as much as possible. Let’s take this time to have creative get togethers and get to know each other. Some activities will include park lunches, wineries, bingo, corn hole, horseshoes, bocce ball, mini golf, outdoor bands, outdoor dining, walks in nature and going to see Christmas holiday lights.  We will also post online events that we can all attend in the safety of our own homes.  Life is hard right now, but let’s put a positive spin on it and still enjoy getting together safely. GROUP POLICIES & RULES: $1 donation collected at each event to offset Meet Up dues & supplies. Head shot pic required of all members for safety reasons. NO SHOWS for 2 events will be removed from the group. Kindness is absolutely mandatory! Bullying will not be tolerated and member will be removed from the group.

Welcome, Wanderer! What you've "wandered" upon is an outdoor adventure group started in Northeast Ohio that strives to create "respites" in the woods.  Our primary mission is to enjoy the natural world that surrounds us by leaving behind the technologies, stress and ease of "city life," and by trekking (one boot in front of the other) into the serenity of the wilderness - all that we have securely packed on our backs. This pursuit can, at times, seem "hopeless" when we're stuck in the doldrums of our 9-to-5's.  However, those desperate moments call for desperate actions.  It is truly amazing how quickly the stressors of "the daily grind" melt away when you're sipping that dawn cup of mountain coffee, or tucked into a cozy sleeping bag on a crisp autumn night. Whether the trip is near (Ohio, PA, WV) or far (CO, Cali, WY)...our goal remains the same: safe adventure travel to pristine natural areas. This group was started to bring together fellow outdoor enthusiasts willing to backpack.  We welcome members new and experienced to outdoor adventure, and also members young (well...18 years and older please) and old.  We're a social bunch, and not every activity we plan involves dirt (although it seems like that!) Backpacking involves two basic components: hiking and backcountry camping. The hikes tend to be of a moderate nature. They are physically demanding, yet require no technical skills (ie. ropework, ice traverse, climbing). Camping skills are required, and may be different than "car camping" that doesn't require much "roughing it..." However, these are skills that are best learned on the trail and at the campsite. ALL skill levels are welcome...whether you've climbed Everest, watched a lot of "Man vs. Wild" or only just dreamed of watching a sunset over a mountain in absolute silence and tranquility. We are happy to educate beginners.  We only ask that each adventurer provide their own gear and abide by our general rules. We are not a "singles" group.  If you're looking for that, perhaps you should wander on over to any one of the multiple Meetup groups that designed for such.  That being said, we host many activities that are social in nature.  As was stated, not all of our activities are pure hiking. We often meet for social interactions and usually meetup for trip planning sessions at a local watering hole. Our event organizers and event hosts are volunteers, and offer many combined years of veteran outdoor leadership.  Trips are planned throughout the year, and as our group grows, the number of trips available to members is steadily climbing.  The opportunity lead trips and organize activities is open to all members...we just ask that you join us for a few activities to see what we're all about. Please take a minute to review some of our core beliefs regarding conduct and environmental stewardship.

Welcome to the Lakewood Professional Women's Small Group Social Meetup! We represent one of the first groups to cater exclusively to *women* who want to engage socially, but would prefer to meet in a smaller, more intimate group setting (ideally 6-10 women, depending on the event). We also represent a diverse group of ladies who love to combine creativity, adventure, and relationship building. Whether it's hiking, happy hour, or enjoying gentle flow yoga, our events cater to outdoor lovers and provide stress release through physical activities. We also host cultural and performance events, happy hour drinks, food exchange gatherings, and holiday and festive events too! Join us to meet empowering women; exchange energy and exercises tips; indulge in passionate conversation about the latest research, film, literature or social justice issue; and indulge in the local culinary scene. Let's encourage each other's creativity and build lasting friendships!

**Do you want to: lose weight, improve your health, and feel great?** **Then the NEO (Northeast Ohio) Rucking and Outdoors Group is for you.** **What is Rucking?** Rucking is nothing more than walking or hiking while wearing a backpack. That’s it. That’s what the Northeast Ohio Rucking group is all about. **Why Join Us?** There are several good hiking and adventure groups out there. So if you hiked wearing a pack with other groups you may be at disadvantage.   However our group is unique because everyone that hikes with us is wearing a ruck (backpack) and is walking with a load.  This group is for all ages and fitness levels and we will hike at a pace that is comfortable for all attendees.  **No one will be left behind.** **The Benefits of Rucking:** Rucking Helps you Lose Body Fat Rucking Helps Your Heart Rucking Is Less Stressful on the Body Than Running Rucking Builds Strength Rucking Improves Your Posture Rucking Helps prepare you for Backpacking, Camping, and Hunting Trips Rucking Gets You Outside **Use Rucking for Fitness:** You can use rucking as part of your fitness routine along with other activities such as jogging, yoga, resistance training and more. You can also go rucking to training for other activities and events such as backpacking, camping and hunting. **Rucking Gets You Social:** Humans are social animals. We get sad and depressed when we’re lonely. Research has shown that one of the best ways to quickly get people feeling connected is to have them move in unison together either through exercise. By rucking with a group you get the bonding benefit of moving together in a group, along with the ability to talk without gasping. **How did Rucking Start?** Rucking has its origins in the military, where soldiers wear a rucksack, which is another word for backpack, filled with provisions and equipment and then march with it for hours or even days on end. Modern soldiers ruck with packs that can weigh 100 pounds or more. **Also:** We will ruck at various locations primarily in Northeast Ohio and possibly other locations in the state. Please provide a real current picture of yourself and a real first name that can identify you. It causes a lot of unnecessary confusion when I don't know what somebody looks like when I'm trying to assemble the group at an event. If you don’t have a ruck don’t worry you can still join us for great conversation and fun in the outdoors. **How to Get Started With Rucking?** Join NEO Rucking.

This group is for anyone who has a wide variety of interests. We will be doing a lot of activities. Is group is open to everyone. These include: art walks, urban exploration, hiking dining out at local restaurants, attending local festivals, volunteering, bowling, bocce, volleyball, visiting well known and not so well known venues, and attending concerts, plays. Let me know what your interests are and what you’d like to see this group do and if there’s enough interest we’ll do them. If you have a special interest and would like to become an Event Coordinator to schedule events related to this special interest, please let me know. Note — Events may be canceled if there appears to be a lack of interest, 5 or less RSVPs. Please keep your RSVPs updated.
