⚡ Fun Dodgeball Rules ⚡
1️⃣ Have Fun!
🎉 This is a casual, friendly event, so bring the energy and enjoy the game! Let’s keep it light and fun!
2️⃣ Headshots Don’t Count!
❌ Hits above the neck? Not an elimination! We’re all about the action below the neck — so aim low and have fun!
3️⃣ Catching is Cool!
👐 Catches only count if you grab the ball before it touches the ground, wall, or hits another player. Timing is EVERYTHING! ⏱️
4️⃣ Blocking – Be Careful!
⚠️ Using the ball to block? If it falls from your hands or hits your fingers, you’re OUT! Be strategic!
5️⃣ Stay Within the Boundaries!
🚫 Step out of bounds, and you’re disqualified. Stay inside the lines to stay in the game! Keep your footing!
7️⃣ Opening Rush – It’s a Race!
🏃‍♂️ At the start, grab the balls only on your right side! To throw, the ball must clear the designated cone first — no shortcuts!
8️⃣ Quick Throws, Fast Moves!
⏰ You’ve got 10-15 seconds to throw the ball and keep the action moving — no time to waste!
9️⃣ Rule Adjustments
🔄 Rules may be adjusted on the fly for an even better experience! Let’s keep it fair and fun for everyone.

Mt Kilimanjaro Trek! 1 of the 7 Summits. Join us on this bucket list adventure

Thu, Jun 18 · 7:00 PM EDT

Logan Airport, 122 Harborside Dr,, Boston, MA, US

Our Meetup is off to another hiking adventure! Mt Kilimanjaro, as the tallest mountain in Africa, is included in the 7 Summits of the world.
It is a bucket-list item for all hard-core hikers and mountain lovers.
We did this trek with Meetup in the summer of 2024 and it was a true experience of a lifetime (see photos below)

Let's get to some numbers. It is 5,895m/19,340ft

BUT . . . our starting elevation for the trek is 3795m/12541ft

As such elevation gain is 2100m/6799ft

To compare Everest Base Camp trek, is about 2754m/9035ft elevation change. And Mt Whitney is about 1828m/6000ft elevation change.

The key to being able to succeed in this endeavor lays in the route and the support system.

We are taking the Lemosho Route via the Northern Circuit. The Northern Circuit route is the longest and newest of the seven established Kilimanjaro routes. It's one of the best routes because it has the best acclimatization profile. This results in one of the highest summit success rates. Add to that stunning views, and comparatively relaxed pace. It is also much less crowded than the other Kilimanjaro routes.

As far as our support system: We will be accompanied by experienced guides, porters and cooks. They are certified, ensuring our safety and comfort. Porters will carry our gear.

We will have a high ratio of guides to hikers. Our guides will go our pace and support each and everyone of us, regardless of fitness level and pace. In other words...you go your own speed and we all get there safe.

More about our trek/trip.
As with all our international trips, we picked the best season/time of year to go for weather and wildlife. Lemosho and Northern Circuit is a scenically spectacular and varied route. At the lower elevations it has an abundance of wildlife such as elephant, buffalo, eland and lion which come over to forage during dry season.

Each of our trips is personally crafted to offer the best places and best use of time.

But I don't have the needed gear?!
You don't need much more than the standard trekker's equipment. We will provide you with a list of what is already included and what can be rented there.

Does this include food?
All meals on the trek potion are included and a cook travels with us!

What is lodging like?
We are sleeping in new and comfortable tents (carried during the day by porters)

I am new at this.
That's OK. We do plenty of prep Zooms before we depart. And in California we have a number of local outdoor day or weekend outings you can test out with us.

How dangerous is this? What if I get sick or hurt?
We will be walking on an established, well used trail the entire time. Our trip INCLUDES emergency insurance. We are also Certified Wilderness First Responders and our guides are members of (AMREF) Flying Doctor.
Plain and simple, safety is our primary goal.

How much does this cost?
Kilimanjaro Mountain Trek $3950 per person, double occupancy. Land only (airfare not included). Solo supplement $600

Trip Cost includes:
- 9 nights accommodation
- 3 meals everyday on the trek
- All Fees & Entrances and Taxes
- Camping equipment such as tents, tables, chairs.
- Lead Guide, Assistant Guides, Porters and Cook
