League of Climbers and Outdoor Enthusiasts (LOCOE)

Austin, TX

Follow us on Instagram for fun (and sometimes even educational!) climbing content: [https://www.instagram.com/leagueofclimbers/](https://www.instagram.com/leagueofclimbers/) \-\-\- Climbing is a social activity and is meant to be enjoyed within the company of others. Along these lines, this meetup is a great way to meet new people. No experience necessary. All skill levels welcome. \ We usually meet twice week, once at Mesa Rim and once at ABP Springdale. We also do outdoor excursions regularly, but our “official” events take place indoors because it's a lot simpler from a logistical perspective. After each session we sometimes also grab food and drinks at the nearby Friends and Allies Brewing Pub or Eastciders. \ This meetup is a collaborative, fun and chill environment where people can get to know each other and help each other grow as climbers. If you have been climbing for several years, great, come on in. If not, that's fine too. We are more than willing to show beginners the ropes.

Austin Outdoor Adventures Kayaking Training & Tours

Austin, TX

Austin Outdoor Adventures Kayaking Training & Tours [Austin OAK T&T] is a Meetup Group dedicated to building a community of people interested in improving their coastal kayaking skills via formal training, and are interested in growing their kayaking expertise via day-touring experiences and kayak-camping expeditions.

Kayaking is great fun - just ask any paddler you find on the water. Kayaking offers so much to so many! Quiet leisure, intense adrenaline, or a path to exploration and adventure. Kayaking is a great way to access spectacular nature, experience reflective moments and to enjoy family and friends away from the distractions of life. Coastal kayaking helps paddlers build character, teach confidence and independence in a supportive environment filled with natural challenges, and provides a space to make your own decisions and to experience the consequences and the rewards, and encourages teamwork in stunning natural places.

Austin OAK T&T is an inclusive group and is open to anyone interested in human-powered outdoor adventures (kayaking, hiking, camping, climbing, biking, backpacking, mountaineering). We enjoy paddling in 14 feet plus long day-touring kayaks and sea kayaks, both, plastic and composite hulls, but some of our friends paddle in shorter sit-on-top kayaks.

Austin OAK T&T offer safe and fun coastal kayak training and awesome touring experiences under the leadership of Constantin Platon [happy camper for 20+ years, ACA Level 3 Coastal Kayak Instructor and ACA Level 3 Trip Leader, and certified NOLS Wilderness First Aid, among other certifications].

Austin Outdoor Adventures Kayaking Training & Tours [Austin OAK T&T] is the Meetup branch of OAK GeoSciences.

http://www.oakgeosciences.com

Austin OAK T&T Enthusiasts are welcome to bring their own kayaking gear or rent kayaking gear from our fleet of high-end European brands of single seat touring kayaks and sea kayaks, including Prijon kayaks (Made in Germany) and Valley and P&H kayaks (Made in England). We also have half-a-dozen of great-looking sit-inside tandem kayaks proudly made in USA by Wilderness Systems and Dagger. We paddle with high-quality paddles made by Werner and Aqua Bound.

Austin OAK T&T Enthusiasts are encouraged to post ideas for future trainings and trips.

Austin OAK T&T events follow the code of ethics and guidelines established by American Canoe Association. All participants must wear a properly-fitted U.S. Coast Guard approved lifejacket at all times during on-water activities.

For your membership to be considered, please answer our introductory questionnaire and upload your avatar/profile picture.

Kayaking can be dangerous and your wellbeing or your property can be at risk. By attending our events you are taking personal responsibility for your wellbeing and property and are attending at your own risk.

Thank you for checking out Austin OAK T&T and we are looking forward to be paddling together soon!

Please reach out to us if you have any questions kayaking related - we would love to help you out!

On behalf of the Austin OAK T&T community of coastal kayakers: Warmest Greetings!

Austin 45 and Up Social Activities

Austin, TX

Greetings! If you are 45 and up and want to meet others interested in getting out in Austin and having fun and being active, this is the group for you! We will host happy hours, brunches, hikes, day trips, movie nights and dancing--throughout Austin.

If you are new to Austin, welcome! Meetups are a great way to get to know people, rsvp to one of our events and start making friends.

While this is a private group, I intend to have a fairly liberal admissions policy so If you're just checking us out and think this group might be for you, please request to join, and tell a friend. (Incidentally, most of my events will have a +1 in case you want to bring a friend)

If you think you might be interested in becoming a host for this group, please rsvp to one of my events and we'll chat. My goal is to have two Meetups per month, but that will probably change if I add others as event hosts.

We're all adults, lets be kind, civil and courteous with each other. I'll only ask that you please have a current profile picture so we can recognize you at our Meetups. Please don't use one of your pet or a flower or your sweet ride, etc.

Thanks,

Timm
