What we’re about
🌳 Minnesota is a beautiful state with awesome people, so let's enjoy it! This group is open for anyone in the local Twin Cities metro area of Minnesota.
🚣 Expect a variation of outdoor and indoor activities, social events, retreats, camping, and other random excursions. Skill level is always beginner-friendly unless noted otherwise in the event description. If you are in need of accomodations, please reach out to the group host directly and we'll see what we can do!
⛺ The Outdoor Adventure & Social Club began in 2021 as a passion project to fulfil my own desire to get outside more, explore, try new things, and meet new friends. Since then, our Facebook group has grown to over 600 members. I figured it was time to add Meetup as an additional platform to reach more people. Feel free to also join the Facebook group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/socialoutdoorsmn
