Please check our website at: www.friendshiking.com Welcome to Friends Camping, Hiking and Outdoor Club. Although new to meetup, we are not a new club. Over our 12 year history we have organized over 400 outings in 8 states as well as Mexico.

Our goal is to provide that 'boost' that we all need to get out there and reall …

We are a group of families who like to hike with all age groups. We tend to feature short but fun hikes that all ages can enjoy. I have found that my kids enjoy and have more energy for hikes that have some mildly rugged terrain with rocks to climb, and that hiking with other families makes for good fun. It is an opportunity to spend some time with your family and to meet new people at the same time.

Are you single and love to hike? Come join us at Results Health and Fitness for a fun and energetic way to meet other singles. Meets every Tuesday and Thursday at 7:00 p.m. for Hiking Bootcamps and Saturday morning for a fun and stress free hiking adventure.

This not a singles group, but since its a socal group anything can happen. Let me know if you would be interesteded in running a program. I'm still just figuring …

We mainly do easy to moderate road & mountain bike rides. Also do moderate hikes in the area. As the group grows we'll try and set up other outdoor activities.

Suppose you are brand new to town and have yet to make any friends in town... even if you've been in the Valley for over a year (or two?)... and you are tired of eating that chocolate fudge ice cream watching Sex And The City (girl, hopefully?) or getting your ass whopped at Call Of Duty by a 9 year old  and you want to get out of the house... Well that's what this meetup group is all about... Now before you join, let me just say this: We are a close group of friends who do all kinds of fun stuf …

Arizona Outdoors Activities Group is a non profit Meetup group that was founded by Kathleen Winans, and Marsha Bidwell in September 2010. One of the things we noticed with other outdoor groups was that it was run primarily by experienced outdoors men that seemed to miss the details when it came to showing single mothers, or beginner outdoors men, and women the basic skills necessary to be comfortable, and safe in an outdoor environment. After meeting each other at a camp-out involving cooking fo …

If you believe that enjoying the outdoors should be done at a leisurely pace and not like you are training for a marathon, then SMORES is for you. My goal is to have activities that are done at a reasonable pace, are conducive to good conversation and give us time to stop and smell the roses. SMORES is also about fitness and will include hikes that include cardiovascular workouts. What I'm trying to say is come out and become the fit person you always knew you were.  I'll be with you every step …

***The group is currently closed to new members.*** Let's get out and enjoy the weather with our babies! I've started this group for the purpose of finding SAHMs in my similar situation who enjoy getting out and being active with their little ones. Meetups for this group will most likely include hikes, walks and activities that are baby friendly.  I'd say a target age group is birth to 2 yrs (ish) but all are welcome!   *Please note that not all of the hikes or activities will be stroller frien …

Do you love exercise? Me neither. But, I think we all love being active and participating in life.
