Providence Outdoor Adventures

We are Providence's number one group for hiking, skiing, biking, snowboarding, and more. We have no cliquey events where only the regulars always get chosen, and every event starts with carpool so nobody is left behind. We are the most inclusive group in the area for hiking, skiing, biking, snowboarding, and other outdoor adventures.

Our group is about the democratization of the outdoors, so you can be the adventure spark (https://www.ridj-it.com/adventurespark)without having to go through layers of the usual Meetup hierarchy.

Do you want to get out and go skiing but don’t have a ride? We’ve got your back. Have you been dreaming about surfing but can’t make it out to California? We know a secret spot to paddle out, and its way closer than you think. Ridj-it has helped bring hundreds of people from the creature comforts of the city to adventures of a lifetime all around New England. Pick one of our trips or design your own; we’ll sort out the details. Your ride is outside. What are you waiting for?

Ridj-it has taken over 3,000 cars off the road, and through connecting those without cars with those who have one, we've helped adventurers host over 500+ events in just a year. Is there a mountain you've always wanted to hike?

Drivers and riders can post adventures from Providence. Our events include people from Meetup, Facebook, Airbnb, and others, so we're more than your typical Meetup group.

Why do we carpool? (https://www.ridj-it.com/single-post/2018/02/18/Why-Carpool)We found most other outdoor Meetups were leaving younger residents, people of color, and immigrants behind. By linking our trips to carpool, we make sure everyone has to work together as a team in order to go on events. Many of our hosts don't have cars, and we're proud to have a space where outdoor enthusiasts can slowly democratize access to New England's beautiful mountains, rivers, and beaches.

Warwick Activities Meetup Group

Warwick, RI

Warwick Activities Meetup Group
New or old to these groups- let’s get a schedule together of things to do that can keep us active and social. Let’s take a walk on one of the many trails that RI has to offer or I hear that there may be a bike path somewhere to walk/ride/skate. Or maybe it is raining and we want to have a game night. We can share a cocktail at an area establishment if we choose as a different activity- in this group the sky is the limit as long as we are socially conscious and accepting of each other’s diverse nature. And honestly this group is for everyone just as long as you want to be in a positive space and enjoy one another. Come one, come all- join us!! I want to add that this group is not focused on dating or drama and members should not come events and have to worry about this. Members should be able to come and have a good time. There also will be in no way any allowance of any type of behavior that makes other group members uncomfortable, no oppressive behaviors exhibited. If this occurs, please bring it to the group moderator. Also, I am going to request that members please have a clear picture of themselves and have their names in their profiles for safety reasons. If members don’t maintain this, I will request that this be done 1 time and a 1 month grace and termination if rules are not followed. So, having said this 😎, let’s get together and have a good time. We are a group TO HAVE FUN AND ENJOY EACH OTHER’S UNIQUE BACKGROUNDS as we all have much to give to one another . Let me know if you have any questions, concerns or activities suggestions. Best, Barbara
