This Meetup group is for those adults that enjoy the beauty of the Florida outdoors. If your a hiker, camper, biker or just enjoy being outside come join me. We will meet new friends, get some exercise and most of all have fun.

This group is for people age 21-35 who love the outdoors and would use any excuse to spend time outside. Many of the similar groups on Meetup are for an older dynamic, and so I believe it is about time a group of this kind is started targeting our generation. Whether it be kayaking, hiking, camping, or just a simple cookout, we will most definitely make the best of what Orlando and its surrounding areas have to offer!

My very first hike was 8 miles from the rim to the canyon floor. I realized how much I love the outdoors and how beautiful nature really is.
