What we’re about
Meet with local people who enjoy outdoor adventures and athletic activities, such as hiking, exploring, kayaking, bicycling, snowshoeing, etc.
A large, clear photo of yourself MUST be posted as your profile photo in order to be approved for membership. This helps organizers and attendees of an activity to identify you. Also, please state where you are from in the NE Ohio area so we know you are able to attend our events or you may be declined.
There is no annual membership dues but a contribution does help defray the cost of our annual fee of approximately $190.00. A suggested contribution of $3.00-5.00 cash can be paid directly to any Event Organizer who can then get it to our Group Organizer. Please put it in an envelope marked with your name and amount. Your contribution is logged in under Money on our Meetup website so you can be assured it has been handled properly. Thanks.
