About us
In the hustle and bustle of everyday life sometimes it's hard to find the time to get away, let alone all the time to plan and organize a trip. That's what TIOA is for. We have a list of trips available and all you have to do is find the time to join us. If there is a trip you want to do, then let me know and I will figure out the logistics and post it. If you are a beginner and don't feel comfortable, or don't have the proper gear this is the perfect way to Take It Outdoors in a safe, fun and friendly way. If you aren't a beginner and are looking for a challenge; we have those trips as well.
When you come out on a trip you will find that TIOA is a fun loving community from all walks of life. Come on out and join the fun!!
See you soon!!
NOTE - A lot of planning goes into the trips we run. Please be considerate of all the members and the organizers of the group and do not be a "No Show". I know that sometimes issues spring up (family issues, medical, work, etc.) and that is completely understandable. In those cases please send a message saying you won't be able to make it. If you don't plan on attending, don't intend to mark it on your calendar or don't intend to make a best effort to come to the event please, please, please do not RSVP "yes" until you are ready.
Thank you much!!

Discover the Schuylkill River like never before with Take It Outdoors and aquatic biologist Dr. Erik Silldorff. This immersive day trip blends adventure and science as you paddle along the river and uncover the hidden world beneath its surface.
Along the way, you’ll get hands-on experience exploring native mussels, elusive eels, crayfish, and the broader ecology that keeps this river alive. More than just a paddle, this is an interactive “crash course” in freshwater biology—perfect for curious minds who want to go beyond the basics.
You’ll have the chance to actively participate in mussel surveys, learn how scientists study and protect aquatic ecosystems, and gain a deeper understanding of the Schuylkill’s history and its transformation over time. Whether you’re a nature enthusiast, science lover, or just looking for a unique way to spend a day on the water, this experience offers a rare opportunity to connect with the river in a meaningful way.3 attendees
