This group is for active folks who love hiking and dogs. You don't need to be a dog owner to be part of this group, but you must like them! I'm doing tons of research on dog friendly areas within a couple of hours drive from the Philadelphia area. Most of the places will probably require that your dogs are leashed, so unleashing your dogs will be "at your own risk." Most of the activities will be hikes, unless the rest of the group has other ideas as well. Most of the activities that I plan will …

Hiking Around Philly is different from most hiking groups because we hike off the beaten path. We hike in the woods and the city. We go places that won't be found on any hiker's map. The events are usually within a 1.5 hour drive from Philly, though we sometimes visit NYC or the Jersey shore. Once each year we go to Acadia National Park in Maine, one of the best places in the world to hike. We sometimes participate in a conservation work party in a area we hike. And, we do a lot more than hike; …

Paddlers sit two to a seat paddling on one side of the boat. Do I need any special abilities or equipment? No, …

I was always an athlete my entire life, but after I had my daughter, I found myself overweight and tired after gaining 70 lbs! Running got me through my weight gain and back to my old self.

My goal is to bring together beginner, seasoned, and recreational women/mom runners in the Collegeville, PA area.  I want it to be a broad range of women who run 7 minute miles to those on a run/walk program.  Every runner started so …

This is a social meet-up group. All are welcome.  I found that I enjoyed setting up events designed around having fun and enjoying what life has to offer.  I found meetup groups that offered events for singles or  couples or  single parents but not for everyone. Many of my friends are single  while others are couples, some with, and some without kids. So I have designed a group for everyone. If you are single or married, with a family or a single parent, all are welcome to join in our adventures …

I grew up on a lake and now live in Philly. I miss being able to go skiing/wakeboarding/kneeboarding when I had free time. I was fishing in manyunk when I saw some wakeboarders and thought to myself, I need to get back on the water. So here I am hoping there are others in the area that feel the same way.
