Mid-Atlantic Outdoors

Frederick, MD

Welcome! Many of our members are like family here, and you are more than welcome to join our family...We're quite often told we're the most fun and funniest meetup around - there's several members that will leave you in stitches if you hike with them...We're also HUGE into themed style hikes so if you're in that, you might just have found your tribe... Our secret to our success is our charmingly small events...We like to preserve woods for future generations and are strong into Leave No Trace ethics here, so you won't see many large social events offered here except for anniversaries or charities...If you need to be in the woods with 50 other people, this isn't the group for you...Loudness in the woods with parade style hiking is not our thing... Our members tend to be 45-55 on average, but we certainly welcome older and younger folks as well...We have everything from beginner hikers/kayakers/bikers to people who regularly hike 50+ miles, live on kayaks, and competition mountain bike... In order to join, you must have a clearly identifiable profile picture. Picture of you and not you and others. This is for safety reasons and so members can recognize each other at events. If you feel the need to be anonymous among 6000+ members, this is not a good fit for you...Safety is a priority to our members here... Welcome new members! ![](https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/9/7/e/600_451903390.jpeg)

MOSS (Mission: Outdoors. Solitude. Service)

Charles Town, WV

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.

This is a space for listening, navigating emotional pitfalls and learning. We ask you to hold space for the possibility that you may be wrong and approach discussions with humility. We are all navigating a world influenced by systems that perpetuate harm, but through awareness, compassion, and solidarity, we can dismantle those systems together.
