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!!!

Hello to all the incredible, kind, and trailblazing women out there! Welcome to our Women's Social and Outdoor Community, where all are embraced with open arms. If you're seeking connection, an outdoor family, travel opportunities, and a safe, loving environment, then look no further – you've found your tribe. Our collective is all about exploring the great outdoors, hiking, and coming together both in nature and indoors during the colder months. We're dedicated to empowering women through genuine connections and our shared love for adventure. Whether we're hitting the trails, gathering for social meetups, or simply enjoying each other's company over a meal, this is a space where authenticity reigns supreme, and everyone can feel free to be themselves. Our schedule is flexible, but you can expect a weekly meetup, along with a monthly social gathering where we bond over good food, perhaps engage in a workshop or two, or simply enjoy each other's company. And once a year, if circumstances allow, we'll plan a special women's retreat – an empowering journey of hiking and self-discovery. In Ohio's great outdoors, we'll come together for weekly hikes, and as the weather warms, we'll host more frequent outdoor socials – camping trips, extended hikes, potlucks, and gatherings centered around our shared passions. This group is inclusive and adaptable – it's whatever we make of it, together. We can't wait to hit the trails with you and forge lifelong friendships along the way. Join us, and let's embark on this adventure together!

We usually hike between three and six miles. The description of each hike will provide details about the pace and the terrain. Most of our hikes are on trails in the woods. Some hikes are with dogs. Some are strictly fitness hikes designed to get 10,000 steps or more in your day. Some hikes are mostly fun / historical in nature.  Some of the hikes are tag along with either a CVNP or Summit Metro led hike typically designated with "FYI:" Some hikes are centered around the beginner hiker who is trying to better him or herself.  As always, you hike at your own risk.  We were started out by a group of bariatric surgery survivors, who realized the need to become more active in their life and truly enjoyed or learned how to enjoy the outdoors. All hikers participate at their own risk. Hiking should always be within your comfort and skill level. Please read the Meetup description carefully and email, message, or call the event organizer if you have any question about your ability to complete the hike or other event. By signing up for a hike or other event you are stating that you are physically able to complete the event listed. You are responsible for your own safety and assume all risks and liabilities on all outings. Event organizers are unpaid volunteers and should not be relied upon to have any special skills or training.
