Welcome to OCO!

WE HAVE FINISHED OUR SCHEDULE OF EVENTS FOR 2009. YOU ARE STILL WELCOME TO JOIN THE GROUP, BUT PLEASE ALSO CHECK OUT OUR SISTER CLUB "THE BRISTOL HILLS SKI+ CLUB" AT WWW.MEETUP.COM/SNOWFUN FOR OUR UPCOMING WINTER EVENTS.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO AREN'T WINTER ACTIVITY LOVERS, WE'LL SEE YOU AGAIN IN EARLY SPRING. TILL THEN, STAY WARM!!

From what we hear from new members, the word seems to be getting out that OCO is THE group to belong to if you want to be with FRIENDLY people doing a bunch of DIFFERENT AND FUN things in the LOCAL area!

We're outdoor lovers who enjoy being with similar-minded folks. MEMBERSHIP IS FREE. You just have to want to hike, bike, walk, kayak, canoe, explore gorges and gullies, geocache, fish, picnic, listen to music outdoors! You can do ONE of the above, SOME of the above, or even try ALL of the above. On occasion we even have "biathlon" meetups where we combine two activites in one event!

Most events don't cost anything, but you DO have to PROVIDE YOUR OWN EQUIPMENT like kayaks, bicycles, etc. We try to make our events varied, unusual and lots of FUN! After many events the participants can be heard saying things like "I can't believe I did that", "I've always wanted to do that", and "I'm so happy I came!".

We are singles, couples, females, males, ranging in age from 20's to 60's. We are non-discriminating and we welcome ANYONE AND EVERYONE to join us. While we sometimes invite kids, our adventures are mostly designed for adults. All we ask is that you are young in mind & spirit, able to physically meet the challenges that YOU take on, and that you are open to FRIENDSHIP & FUN!

Our events are staged during the cool and warm weather months and our schedule will be winding down starting in November. Don't panic though! For winter activities, check out our sister club, The Bristol Hills Ski+ Club at www.meetup.com/SNOWFUN.
