Outdoor activities groups near Columbus, OH

The goal of this group is to bring together individuals looking to socialize with other third shift employees in the Northwest Columbus region. Currently, there is no set agenda or activities planned for this group. My goal is to identify individuals looking to meet up with a group, develop a normal cadence to life without sacrificing it all to early morning isolation. From here maybe if we can build enough momentum we can start planning activities.
