Escape the Ordinary and Do G.R.E.A.T.

Escape the Ordinary, Be Extraordinary and Do G.R.E.A.T

We are a social group for those year-round intrepid active, energetic weekend warriors, adrenaline junkies, social butterflies and fun seekers extraordinaire in the New York City (or nearby) area who are looking to escape from the vicissitudes of daily life and seeking to connect, socialize and participate in a variety of new and unique activities with like-minded new friends and to live a glow up life with sass, spice and flare through connection, joy, and movement through Group Recreation, Exploration, Adventures and Travel (G.R.E.A.T, get it?)!

Our events: In this group, we aim to accomplish GREAT things! Climb that mountain! Book that ticket! Blaze that hiking trail. Take that weekend journey to explore a town you’ve never been to before. Try that new cuisine! Learn a new skill! Volunteer for a worthy cause! Hiking, walks in park, dining out, Broadway shows, museums, happy hours, movie nights, wine tasting, brewery tours, day trips, weekend getaway ... and for the adrenaline junkies, tell your fear to hold your beer because you’re about to jump off that perfectly good airplane … fly baby fly! We will do it all!

Our philosophy is simple … BE POSITIVE, HAVE FUN and ENJOY THE MOMENTS and memories we will be building together. You only have one life to live, so make the best of it!

Our events will be all over the map: throughout the five boroughs of New York City and beyond... north to Hudson Valley and Connecticut ... over the river to New Jersey ... east to Long Island ... south to Philadelphia ... all reachable by public transportation! In due course we will even head overseas for international trips!

All are welcome regardless of age, race or creed. As long as you are open to adventures, possess a “wanna do” spirit, maintain a positive attitude and a willingness to try new things ... we want to meet you ...

Whether you’re looking to explore scenic day trips or exciting outings, our group creates memorable experiences that break the routine. Embrace the outdoors, meet new friends, and make every moment GREAT together. Join us to escape the ordinary and ignite your adventurous spirit and discover your next unforgettable journey!

Come do and be G.R.E.A.T. with us!
