Black & Outdoorsy

Fresh air, good people, and a little bit of “why haven’t I been doing this more?”

Black & Outdoorsy is about getting outside, trying new things, and building community while we’re at it. From hiking and kayaking to camping, biking, beach trips and laid-back nature walks, we’re here to enjoy the outdoors in ways we don’t always see ourselves represented and have a great time doing it.

This group is rooted in bringing the Black community together around outdoor experiences, but it’s open to any and everyone who’s here for the right reasons: good vibes, respect, and a willingness to try something new!
Most of our crew is in their 20s–40s, and events are geared toward adults, so unless we say otherwise, this is your sign to take a break from responsibilities (kiddos), get outside, and just enjoy yourself for a bit. You can expect a mix of chill outings and more organized adventures, all designed to help you connect, explore, and maybe even surprise yourself.

Instead of a monthly subscription fee for this group, some events will have a fee to help us put together better experiences and keep things running smoothly. This way, members are only paying if they are active. The fees are to cover the subscription expenses for Meetup, rent equipment, buy food, drinks etc. for events and lessen any financial burden of those who choose to host events.
If you’ve been meaning to get outside more, meet new people, and actually follow through on “we should do something fun soon”, this is that. See you outside!
