Outdoor Activities and Social Group

🏞 Hike. Laugh. Connect. Repeat.

Want to meet new people and enjoy North Idaho’s outdoors while you’re at it?
The Outdoor Activities & Social Group is a monthly gathering open to men and women who love being active, sharing experiences, and forming friendships through real-life adventures.

 

Led by James Richards and Kristy Willis, this group meets every Second Saturday of the Month at varying times and locations, depending on the activity. From hikes and paddleboarding to community events or snowshoeing, you’ll get outside, build community, and have a ton of fun doing it.

When you register, you’ll receive monthly updates with full details about each event.

 

🌄 Why It Matters

Community doesn’t always happen sitting in a circle. Sometimes it happens on the trail, around a fire, or while laughing through a shared experience.

 

This group is about:

Exploring the outdoors with great people

Inviting others into friendship without pressure

Sharing ideas and interests as we grow together

Creating space for both introverts and extroverts to belong

Whether you’re new to the area or just ready to try something different, this is your people.

 

👋 Who It’s For

Adults of any age looking to build friendship through activity

Men and women who enjoy hiking, exploring, or just getting out of the house

North Idaho locals who want community without small talk or awkward icebreakers

People who connect best through shared experience

You don’t need to be a “hardcore outdoors person”—just bring a sense of adventure and an open heart.

Absolutely. This group is a great entry point for people looking for connection and shared experience—no church background needed.
