H3 OUTDOORS (H3O)

Valley Forge, PA

H3 OUTDOORS (H3O)
**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?

Ballooning Adventures

Collegeville, PA

Ballooning Adventures

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.
