Outdoor activities groups near Souderton, PA

Hi Ladies!! If you enjoy being outdoors and you are looking to branch out and meet new people this is the group for you! We meet weekly at local parks for easy, brisk walks or hikes while chatting and socializing. The ultimate goal of this group is to help young women to make friends and build community.

This group is for anyone interested in the outdoors and outdoor activities, particularly river-based ones. All skill levels are welcome. I started this group to connect with others who share this interest, share insights and grow our skills further.

Here is the 2024 annual email for those that may not have received it or are new to the group and didn't get the email blast: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MN1Vs4gPeUfZ9wMXpXAOmj_84s9gIeBK9XaH_doCUYY/edit?usp=sharing This is a group for anyone that loves to adventure outdoors and wants to do it with other people, even if they are complete strangers. If you like to hike, camp, raft, ski, board, travel and other activities this is THE group for you. If you're only looking for happy hours, this isn't the group for you, this is NOT a singles group. We plan happy hours now and then to get the members of the group together in social settings to discuss future adventures - some good plans can be made over a beer or two. And all good adventures end with a drink! It's better with someone else... It's better with beer/drinks... It's Better Outdoors... Come join us! Our motto is : "We don't talk quietly, hike slowly, go to bed early or only have just one drink" Please make sure to read the Waiver (General Release of Liability).

We play outdoors while the weather holds. Wednesdays and Saturdays. **Wednesdays** is competitive BB+. Emphasis on **COMPETITIVE**. **You must know the (outdoor) rules, be able to consistently control the ball, know who/where to pass, and where your position on the court should be. If you are less experienced, please join us on Saturdays, which is for all levels.** **Saturdays** is all levels. This is an opportunity to coach, learn, and evolve your game. We still play by all the rules. **We ask that you're honest with yourself and be considerate toward each individual event.** Our more experienced players give their time to play/coach on Saturdays in exchange for competitive games on Wednesdays. It's no fun to show up expecting a competitive game and getting recreational-level. If you're unsure of your level, join us on Saturday and ask one of the hosts for feedback. Above all, we’re about great games, making friends, and fun times. If you’re able to laugh at yourself, on and off the court, we’re the group for you. :) There is a one time $15 fee per season, due the first time you play. You can Venmo at @Natasha-Santiago-Braxton or bring cash to the event. Don’t spend your summer sitting around, come out to play!

Welcome to Outdoor Adventure Friends. This group will be all about getting outside. Biking, hiking, kayaking, etc. Maybe go on a camping trip at some point. We are open to anyone joining as long as you're interested in the great outdoors. Please have a clear picture of just yourself in your profile so we know who to look for. By signing up for any event you take personal responsibility for your own safety.

This is a former pickleball group from UDSC. The group is no longer active and will be deleted soon.

Welcome to the Ambler Outdoor Adventures Meetup Group (AOAMG)! We are a community of adventure enthusiasts who love exploring nature together through thrilling trips, outings, and nature walks. Whether you seek adrenaline-pumping experiences, tranquil hikes, or simply connecting with like-minded people, our group aims to create unforgettable outdoor memories. Join us for exciting activities, breathtaking views, and a chance to plunge into the beauty of nature in the company of like-minded explorers. Let's elevate our wanderlust together!

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 :)

this group will be for singles (divorced, or widowed, or never married), age 30s-50s who enjoy being outside and/or are trying to be extra careful during Covid. all activities will be outside and the number of attendees will be limited. activities will include walking, outside eating, bocce ball, game night, mini golf, etc. almost all events will be in Norristown, KOP, Blue Bell or Plymouth Meeting. for the protection of the group members, a proper profile picture will be required.

This is a group for singles in their late 20s through later 50s who want to meet and mingle with other singles of the same age group.  We will host a variety of social events to include happy hours, first Fridays, bar crawls, parties, outdoor activities and concerts, wine and beer tastings, sporting events, adventures/adventurous activities (hiking, kayaking, rock climbing, mini golf), party cruises, and more. It's perfectly ok if members are dating within the group or outside as well. A clear picture of yourself, in your profile, is required. Event organizers may remove any person from an event for not complying with this group requirement. Please respect the privacy of others and refrain from messaging members without their consent. This is NOT a "hookup" group. Always keep your RSVP's up to date, we realize "life" happens.

**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?

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.
