Outdoor activities groups near Dublin, OH

More Adventurous, Fun, Interesting Activities (M.A.F.I.A.)

Columbus, OH

More Adventurous, Fun, Interesting Activities (M.A.F.I.A.)


This group is for active adults that like to socialize as well as get out and enjoy a variety of activities.

One of the problems I have encountered in some MeetUp groups is a lack of events. So hopefully we will be able to schedule a weekly activity. Some of the events that we have hosted: Kayaking/Canoeing, Dancing (swing, salsa, etc.), dinners, brunches, toboggan shoots, trivia night, indoor rock climbing, and so on.

This is not a singles group, however, being single myself, I will be looking for events that work well for those that do not have a partner to attend them with. My goal is to make this a very welcoming group to all who attend. If you join, I hope that will be your goal as well.

Note:  You MUST have a profile photo in which YOUR face is visible. This is for safety as well as helping  members recognize each other at events. Please fill out the profile questions as well. Your membership will not be approved if the photo doesn't meet aforementioned criteria and the questions have not been answered. We have a two no-show and your out policy. So if you sign up for an event, show up, or at least change your RSVP.

This group is for successful inspiring professional ladies ages approximately 35-55.  Activities may include dinners out, outdoor activities, fitness, live music, dancing, or whatever you post! Everyone will be made an organizer so more events can be planned.

Explorer Chicks of Columbus

Columbus, OH

Explorer Chicks of Columbus
Looking for a community of adventure loving, boundary pushing, encouraging women to explore the world with?   You found it!   [Explorer Chick](https://d.docs.live.net/dd21754c8c726806/Documents/www.explorerchick.com) is a 2022 [Travel and Leisure World’s Best Tour Operator](https://www.travelandleisure.com/worlds-best/best-tour-operators-2022) changing the lives of thousands with our supportive community formed organically by the women who have traveled all over the world with us on our small-group adventure travel tours.   What we got here is a happy by-product of Real Women embarking on Real Adventures. Women bonded together by challenging themselves in the outdoors. Women who naturally encouraged one another and connected right away. Women who live to LIVE. ⁠  ⁠  🦸‍♀️ The friendships are REAL. ⁠  🦸‍♀️ The vulnerability on the trails is REAL. ⁠  🦸‍♀️ The empowerment is REAL. ⁠  🦸‍♀️ The personal growth is REAL. ⁠  🦸‍♀️ The cuss words, inside jokes, and SHE-naningans are REAL. ⁠    And we’ve been doing it since 2014! That year, Explorer Chick founder, Nicki Bruckmann was a wife, cat mom and home owner who worked full-time in corporate finance. Instead of feeling fulfilled by ticking all the boxes, she found herself feeling stifled. She made the choice to break away from it all and step out of that life. To figure things out, she needed a vacation reset. But not just any vacation. She wanted something that would feed her adventurous soul and push boundaries. But the thing about divorce? You lose that built-in travel buddy. Believing that other women must also be in the same situation; craving adventure and travel and not wanting to do it all alone, she launched Explorer Chick! [Check out the whole story here](https://explorerchick.com/about/the-explorer-chick-story/#:~:text=The%20Explorer%20Chick%20Story%20In%20a%20former%20life%2C,buy%20homes%20from%20the%20Sears%20catalog%21%29%20in%20Cincinnati.). Launching in 2015, Explorer Chick ran one trip with three bold ladies looking for adventure. From there, this amazing community of women continues to grow, and in 2022 more than 1100 women traveled with us on 133 trips over 5 continents!    Whether you arrive as a solo traveler or with several of your closest gal pals, you’ll be greeted by a group of like-minded women travelers of all ages who love to go hiking, camping, rafting, backpacking, canyoning, surfing, kayaking, climbing and more. Basically, we’re all in on anything that gets us outdoors and active!   We travel the US National Parks and bucket list destinations like Iceland, Jordan, Galapagos, Croatia, Uganda and so many more.   The best part? You are taken care of by Explorer Chick’s professional, certified guides. They handle all the details: from food to accommodations to gear and extra words of encouragement when you need them the most.
