New to the Loudoun County area or perhaps already well situated in Northern Virginia but looking to make some new friends and get out for some fun activities?  Interested in a group with no specific agenda, just a platform for meeting new friends and enjoying some activities in the area together.? This group is intended for both men and women - couples and singles (45+).  (It is not however meant to serve as a dating/singles site - just a way to make some new friends and get out to discover Loudoun.) Ideas include meeting up for drinks and/or dining at some of the great restaurants, breweries, and vineyards in the area - enjoying live music, movies etc. Outdoor activities - hiking, biking, kayaking, yoga, tennis, horseback riding, sailing, flying, skiing, day trips …… or any other ideas you'd like to introduce. Please join up, bring your friends and ideas… If anyone has any particular events or activity that they would like to put forward or host (organize) an event , please let us know and we can try to put it together or assist you in doing so..  Event Hosts and Co-Organizers most certainly welcome! NOTE:  Please remember to post a photo and take a moment to complete your profile when you sign up. (Photos help the hosts to find you - and you to find others at group events.)

The RJ TENNIS BOOT CAMP® adult tennis program is for all levels of play: Beginners to the 5.0 USTA player. When I was first getting into tennis as an adult I didn't know of all the options that were available for me to play tennis. As for tennis during the winter and rainy spring months, I thought indoor tennis was out of the question. I didn't know that you didn't have to join a club to be able to participate in any of the tennis clinics. Back when smoke signals was the form of communication from one location to another, I didn't know of all the great opportunities to play tennis at various locations. MEETUP is a great way for tennis players of all abilities to find opportunities to play. There are great MEETUP clubs on this platform. 

If you have been looking for a place to play some invigorating tennis and to work on growing your tennis game, may I encourage you to give the RJ TENNIS BOOT CAMP® adult tennis program a try.  Membership is not required to participate in any of the drop in clinics. There are member/non-member clinic fees to participate in all of the RJT clinics. 

If you have never done the RJT class before or if it has been sometime since you have done the class, please ask to get onto the RJT emailing list so that you can keep up to date with the schedule of classes.  And when your schedule allows, please email me to see if there is availability for you to drop in.

I look forward to the opportunity to serve you.

Mission  What differentiates MOSS from other outdoor groups?  We not only seek adventure but understand that by getting into wilderness the discovery is spiritual as much as physical.  It is our belief that God can be found at work in creation-that there is something within us that reacts to what can be experienced in the natural world.  For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made...(Romans 1:20 ).  Our mission is to facilitate a connection between our experience in nature with the Creator.  A unique way that this happens is during an intentional period of solitude on each event, called Withdrawal Time.  This is taken from the example Jesus gave us and found in the Gospels and is extremely beneficial for modern people who spend most of their time indoors and a significant amount of time interacting electronically.   Luke 5:16   ...Jesus often withdrew to the wilderness for prayer.The inspiration for the name MOSS originated during time spent in Glacier Bay, Alaska.  Here, glaciers have advanced and retreated several times and with each advance, the ice (like any other natural disaster) destroys and recreates a landscape.  Slowly, with the help of mosses, lichens and other pioneer species, a complete ecosystem is reborn.   "...so favorable is this climate for the development of tree seeds and so fully do these trees obey the command to multiply and replenish the earth. No wonder these islands are densely clothed with trees. They grow on solid rocks and logs as well as on fertile soil. The surface is first covered with a plush of mosses in which the seeds germinate; then the interlacing roots form a sod, fallen leaves soon cover their feet, and the young trees, closely crowded together, support each other, and the soil becomes deeper and richer from year to year."      Travels in Alaska, John Muir (1879) MOSS has an intentionally soft approach to ministry that strives to do the hard work of producing good soil as it bridges the reaction people instinctively have nature to who we know as Creator. MOSS activities are adventurous and purposefully challenging.  By pushing ourselves beyond what we think we are capable, we gain physical and mental strength and are able to learn to trust God in a unique way.  WHY OUTDOORS? By intentionally exposing ourselves to experiences that stretch us, we grow in body, mind and spirit.  Physical challenges can be used to represent our real life difficulties.  For instance, if we achieve a goal in the outdoors such as hiking a peak or kayaking beyond what you thought our limit was, strength can be drawn into your life experiences.  With MOSS, there will be opportunities to push yourself physically and the benefits will be reaped in your everyday life.  MOSS is an extension of Shannondale Springs Chapel in Harpers Ferry, WV.

Ladies who love the Lord and the outdoors! Let’s plan some camping trips together🌲

A group for women to connect and hang out! Activities of all kinds will be considered.

This is a group for women over 40 who are interested in meeting and discussing a book of the month. This is a time for us to have a short break from our husbands, kids, grandkids, pets, and all responsibilities--some "me" time to have enjoyable discussions about the book we've read as a group. We also generally meet outside of book club time for dinner and other activities.

**Welcome to Charles Town WV 45 plus Social Group! We are fun, active (mostly) 40s-60s singles from all over West Virginia, Maryland, and Virginia.** **Activities include, but are not limited to fairs, festivals, sporting events, concerts-large and small, river tubing, whitewater rafting, dinner, dancing, hiking, and sand volleyball events.** **If you are newly single, new to the area, or simply want to enlarge your circle of single friends, CTWV45 is a great way to meet others in a non-threatening atmosphere.** **While members can and do date, this is NOT a dating site,** **For membership we REQUIRE a photo.  It should be a reasonably recent, facially (FULLY) visible photo, WITHOUT sunglasses. You should be the only person in the photo--or it should at least be obvious as to which person you are), It needs to be a normal sized (non-thumbnail pic).** **We also require an actual first name as your screen name--how you want to be addressed in person.  You can use a pseudonym if you desire.** **CTWV45 is Member Driven--.  If there is an event you are interested in that you have not seen posted, please contact an Organizer ASAP and let's get it on the board for others to sign up and go out to play.**
