I'm a first responder in DC at night and I have monday and tuesday nights off, and most of these groups do things on the weekends or at night when it's too late for me to go out before work. So this group is for people in the same situation who are interested in going out on weekdays or nights. Activities I'd like to do are hiking, museums, movies, mini golf, historical walks, amusement parks.

This group is for all you 18-20 somethings living in Staunton, Lexington, or any surrounding areas. I'm looking to meet new people and have some fun. I'm open to suggestions on things to do as I would like to cater to all tastes. Some current ideas are geocatching, tyedyeing, seeing a movie, hiking, dinner, board games, and more. Some events will be in Staunton and some in Lexington to try and cover a wide range of people.

This group will organize camping and hiking trips and outdoorsy activities for those living in the DC metro area. Camping will include car camping and backcountry camping.

Our club also maintains 120 miles of the Appalachian Trail as well as 16 shelters along the trail. The club was founded in 1932. We always welcome guests to come along on our hikes. We usually have two group hikes each weekend.

Welcome! This is a new group that aims to bring young people together socially in the Charlottesville area. The goal is to help bring together those in their 20's and 30's (or those who are young at heart) for activities like happy hour, dinner, live music, and movies. It would also be great to get together some outdoor activities like hikes and camping trips! This group is for those who may be new to town or for those looking for new friends.

Let's bring together the adults around Northern Virginia, (from Winchester to Fairfax, from Leesburg to Culpeper, using Gainesville as the base center), that enjoy being active in all types of outdoor activity, and primarily SKIING. During the ski season, I hope we can get some folks out for some weekday day trips to Snowshoe or other mountains and perhaps a couple of trips going north to VT. If we grow in size, I hope we can look to trips west to CO, NV, UT... But, skiing is only roughly a 4 mo …

We are a hiking club in the Washington, DC area which adds to the pleasure of a sociable hike the discovery of the natural and historical aspects of the wayside along the trails we tread. While benefiting from an invigorating hike, time is taken for hike leaders - as well as fellow hikers - to share their knowledge of the flora, fauna, geology, and history of the area with the group.

What better discovery to have during an activity than "YOU"!! I started this group because hiking in remote areas brings focus to the way we experience our beautiful world and ourselves. But don't cancel your gym membership -- we are going to need it so we can hike a little farther and give ourselves a better reason to stay healthy and fit.

Imagine how exciting it would be if you knew there was an iPad hidden somewhere across the street? How about a 42" color TV? What if you knew within walking distance a new car was waiting to be found? Or even a Caribbean cruise. That’s what Geocaching for Treasure is all about; adding a modern twist to the adventure and excitement of a real, old-fashioned treasure hunt and bringing it to our neighborhood! We are starting a group in Fredericksburg and the surrounding areas to do just that! There …

This meetup is for various activities that we can do on week evenings and weekends. Things like walking, hiking, festivals, billiards, bowling, tennis, cooking...etc. If you prefer quieter, more laid back environments or the outdoors to loud bars/clubs/happy hours, this meetup is for you. Also for the work-evening meetups, I'd like to set up hours that are a little past regular happy hour/rush time, e.g. instead of 5-6, prefer 7-8-9, both to avoid traffic and to allow those of us who work later …

This is a group for any one interested in recreational walking and hiking. All skill levels are welcome.

This group is for families with children at Columbia Elementary School in Annandale, VA., who are interested in hiking their kids to/from school. Typically, we start at 8:30 AM at Mason District Park, have time to check out the pond and playground, and hike just over a mile to Columbia to be there around 9-ish. Its a great way for kids to start the day! There are no set days. If the weather is nice, there is a good chance that there will be a hike.

This group is open to all interested in getting together for some outdoor fun or connecting with nature whether it's a simple walk, a hike, a game of frisbee or basketball. All outdoor activity will be followed by an experience of inner peace through simple, effective meditation at no cost. No skill set required at all...just a sprinkle of enthusiasm, fun-loving spirit and desire for inner peace.
