**Welcome Adventurers To H3 Outdoors or H3O!!!** \ You might be asking... what does H3 stand for? *Harmony... Happy... Healthy... Outdoors!* **"We're Not Just Hiking... We're H3O!"** We are a diverse group of hikers, walkers, backpackers, campers, runners, bicyclists, paddlers, rock climbers who simply enjoy being outside, with other people and getting some exercise at the same time. **Ten Years... over 6,000 members... and 4000 events!** We started out as a hiking group in 2013 and that is still our core activity, but H3O is evolving everyday in every way to expand our horizons to offer just about any fun, healthy outdoor activity possible. [H3O Member Code of Conduct (Click To View)](https://docs.google.com/document/d/17ZYMIr-fiMDEFPPO9D1WRVEfxVK6ELcy/edit?usp=drivesdk&ouid=112345812258770866986&rtpof=true&sd=true) **Where Do We Go? "Outdoors" Is A Pretty Big Place!** Many of our hikes and events are in Valley Forge National Park, Ridley Creek State Park and most other parks and hiking trail destinations located throughout Chester, Montgomery, Berks and Delaware counties. But we are always venturing out to other areas and neighboring states and now across the country. And in 2015 we hosted our first international hiking trip to England. **Are H3O Hikes and Activities For You?** \ Our members have a variety of physical skill levels from beginner to intermediate to advanced hardcore. We always plan our hikes and activities with this in mind and will let you know the minimum skill level required so you can decide if an activity is appropriate for you to attend. Hiking and activities should always be well within your own comfort and skill level. Our organizers are not professionals and all hiking and activities are always at your own risk and responsibility. Dogs on a leash are permitted at your own risk on Meetups where the venue allows dogs. Our number one goal is to have fun and enjoy the great outdoors while observing safety at all times. **Do We Charge Anything?** Meet Up charges a fee to maintain the website and all groups need to pay this to continue to post activities for their group. We don't charge our members but anyone can feel free to "Chip In" voluntary contributions. This is NOT a membership fee but a voluntary donation to keep the group going. If you are unable to make a donation, no worries; you are still welcome to join our group. Other than that, if a planned event requires a cost to conduct it (i.e., lodging, travel, permits, equipment, supplies, etc.) then we do charge the appropriate funds to cover those costs. We don't mark up any costs and we don't make a profit off any events. \ **So, What Do You Want To Do? Where Do You Want To Go?** We are open to the suggestions of our members. Let us know! Our activities are only limited by imagination! But let's keep it safe. Maybe no jumping out of helicopters. But that does sound fun! ***Come On Out and Join Us! We Hope To See You Out There! Whaaahoooo! ;)*** **Want To See For Yourself?

NOTE - A lot of planning goes into the trips we run. Please be considerate of all the members and the organizers of the group and do not be a "No Show". I know that sometimes issues spring up (family issues, medical, work, etc.) and that is completely understandable. In those cases please send a message saying you won't be able to make it. If you don't plan on attending, don't intend to mark it on your calendar or don't intend to make a best effort to come to the event please, please, please do not RSVP "yes" until you are ready. Thank you much!!

Ready for some adventure? Let's do this! ⭐ ✔️ This group is for 20's and 30's who are looking to level up their minds and bodies. Our focus is on movement and personal development When we're surrounded by others who value ambition and are striving for greatness, we naturally elevate. Each interaction is an opportunity for personal expansion 🥾 What to expect: * easy and moderate outdoor hikes * varied event locations * no fees/dues ever * clear communication

This group is meant to be a non judgmental, friendly group! Come to have a great time with great people and amazing food and other great activities!

This meetup is for people in Southeastern PA who are concerned about America's rising crime rates, sporadic riots & mass shootings, rampant inflation, rising fuel costs & potential food shortages, increased tensions with Russia & China, as well as the erosion of privacy & civil liberties, and signs of instability in our political system that could lead to a constitutional crisis or even a civil war. Given all that's going on, it's smart to learn more about self-defense, personal safety, survival skills, and disaster prepping - just in case... \ The geographic area in Pennsylvania we cover is roughly the triangle defined by Philadelphia, Allentown/Bethlehem, and Lancaster and includes all parts in between (i.e. Media, Main Line, West Chester, King of Prussia, Exton, Downingtown, Coatesville, Lansdale, Doylestown, Quakertown, Kutztown, Phoenixville, Pottstown, Reading, Morgantown, Ephrata, Lebanon, etc). In addition to hosting our own events, we can take advantage of workshops and classes hosted by other groups in our area. Occasionally, we may make roadtrips to events a bit further away in other parts of PA, as well as in DE, MD & NJ. \ NOTE: Unlike most other meetups, I'm only teaching a few of the workshops listed on this page - mostly just the weekly rucks and a few online discussion over Zoom. But there's a lot of skills we can learn from other people in our area. I've combed the internet and listed as many survival-related events in our area as I can find. It's more than I can possibly attend, so don't count on me being there unless I say I will, but I listed everything I could find because I want to find some events that are convenient & affordable for everyone in our group. As you can see from our list of upcoming meetups, we're really lucky to have so many events in our area almost every week! Please RSVP to let me & others know which events you're interested in. And keep in mind, even if you don't see other people in our meetup RSVPing to an event, that does not mean no one is going - these are mostly events hosted by 3rd parties that are widely advertised and almost always have 10+ attendees. \ Our overall goal is to develop skills to help us cope with whatever life may throw in our way, whether that's crime, a natural disaster, economic instability, or political turmoil - or even more mundane things like car trouble, a power outage, or data privacy concerns. Our focus is on helping people not just survive but also \*thrive\* in uncertain times. We can do this by aligning the way we prepare for potential emergencies with our general self-improvement goals. When it's done the right way, training in self-defense skills can also help you get in better physical shape, build self-discipline & self-confidence, make you more situationally aware, and teach you to set personal boundaries & verbally deescalate conflicts. Learning some wilderness survival skills dovetails well with outdoor recreational activities like hiking, camping, hunting & fishing, all of which are beneficial by getting you more active outdoors which is healthy & relieves stress, and they also make you more aware of the natural world we depend upon. Similarly, sensible prepping dovetails well with the growing trends toward "frugal living" and "do-it-yourself" (DIY), and it can help you become more self-reliant and better at problem-solving, teach you ways to save money & diversify your investments, and give you some skills that are essential in a disaster scenario but can also help with regular household repairs & car maintenance. Coming to our meetups will also help you meet other people in our area who share many of your goals & interests. \ As a group, we'll do our best to help each other remain vigilant & prepared while not succumbing to the paranoia and conspiracy theories we sometimes see among the "doomsday preppers" or the Rambo fantasies of the mall-ninja types who amass huge amounts of "tacticool" gear they don't know how to use. Some of our group discussions will help with this by providing some stats & information to help us distinguish realistic threats from highly unlikely or unrealistic scenarios. \ If you'd like to get in shape, learn some self-defense and survival skills, and discuss some realistic ways to protect yourself and your family physically, legally & financially, please join us!

Starting this outdoor group for young adults. Group is intended for those between post-undergraduate and before starting a family (ages around 21-34 years old). There's usually a lot of activities for college students, and then those in their 30's have their family and children's activities. I feel the demographic in between is the forgotten group! My aim is to connect young adults who are navigating this stretch and season of their lives. I love the outdoors and would love even more to share my experiences with other young adults. Just starting this group so we’ll see what it evolves into :)

We are a motorcycle riding group for all riders and all brand of bikes. Most rides will be between 100 to 300 miles and may include an activity such as lunch, see an attraction, a hike or a combination of things. We’re riding to have fun and the only rule for riding with us is that you wear a DOT approved helmet. We ride responsibly and safely so if you're into wheelies and showing off this probably isn't the group for you. \ One of the great things about meeting and riding with new people is that you get to learn new roads and places that they know. That's why we also ask our members to try to lead a ride once a year. This is by no means a requirement but we'd love to find out what roads you like to ride. To schedule leading a ride please contact the site organizers Alan or Carl with your plan and we'll get it on the schedule. \

This group is for animal lovers who want to improve their own and their pets' health through walking. We want to encourage pet owners (yes, cat owners, too!) to get out and exercise. Our intention is to meet new animal loving friends and have fun enjoying the outdoors.

It is NOT necessary to bring a dog, just that you be willing to walk with them!

Hello everyone,

This group is for couples, in the age range of 38-50.  Since the weather is perfect for outdoor adventures, this group is for anybody interested in traveling to the mountains for nature hiking and exploring, seeing haunted attractions around Halloween, dining out, adventures to historical sites and the occasional drinks, movies, international travel, shore vacations, and dancing. We are also opened to any suggestions you might have too, within reason to all members. 

My husband and I started this group to meet new couples, closer to our age. We are outgoing, down to earth people that like to get out sometimes and have fun and we enjoy meeting people. We are a straight couple so this is NOT a swingers group. You do not have to be married to be a couple. You can be a couple, engaged or married. When you say your going to come to our meetups, please be there or let us know in advance that you cannot make it. Its just common courtesy to the rest of the members and us.
Looking forward to getting out and having some fun with you all.

This is a group for anyone interested in Hot Air Balloons. However, PLEASE READ THE IMPORTANT DESCRIPTION OF THIS GROUP BEFORE YOU APPLY.

THIS MEETUP IS ABOUT A RECURRING ACTIVITY: it is about building a balloon team, NOT taking a balloon flight once and done. We are not demanding on how often you come, but want people who are truly interested, and we expect some participation. Please don't join the group "just in case" it could be something to do one day. 

Ballooning is a fantastic activity and the Pennsylvania countryside both beautiful and very suitable for ballooning. Hot Air Balloons require a team to assemble, chase and eventually pack the balloon. The idea is to get together on weekends and also at the end of week days in the summer, and go fly a balloon when the weather permits.

Members will learn how to crew for a balloon, occasionally fly in the balloon. Those interested in photography will also have great photo ops.

No experience necessary to get started, but

1. Balloons can only fly at sunrise or 2h before sunset, so we meet early (5AM in summer) and members need to have a drivers license and transportation to the meeting point.

2. Since we meet quite early and sometimes we have to cancel at the last minute due to weather, it is strongly suggested for members to be located within 10 miles of Collegeville, PA - please do not apply if you live 30 miles away.

3. Members will need to run, lift and this is a moderately physical activity

Also to be very clear and set expectations:

YOU WILL NOT FLY THE FIRST TIME YOU COME to one of our flights. You will learn how to handle a balloon and follow-it (chase) during the flight. Later on, you will have opportunities to fly.

This group is being created for the Gen X and Baby Boomer generations who are single/married/separated/divorced who are looking to meet up and share good times at social events that could include happy hours, dining out, live entertainment, dancing, sports, outdoor and indoor adventures, music fest, local trips, games and just good fun meeting new people to share in great times!! Stop be being bored and let us get together and ENJOY LIFE!!!

Welcome: Our activities are only limited by the creativity and interests of the group! Please be respectful of drinking responsibly, keeping RSVPs current, welcoming new members, patronizing the venues where we have tables, staying safe within the group, not monopolizing anyone's time at events, and understanding that events and circumstances can change based on a number of factors, keeping profile pictures current. Feel free to message me with any requests, desire to host an event, questions, or other matters. Thank You Kevin Wilson

(In Perkiomen Valley and Surrounding Area) This is a Christian Singles group, created to get out and socialize, and possibly do some local mission projects as well.

This group will be as good as you make it so please plan on not only coming out to activities but stepping up and helping to plan or lead an activity(s) as well. I am looking forward to doing some fun activities and meeting new brothers and sisters in Christ. God bless.
