It’s the heart of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, and it shows in the Outdoor 1K Club! A quick peek at the latest numbers shows a lot of activity in the United States during the heat wave. Keep hydrated, everyone!

Here are some of the ways these successful groups get members to put on their kicks and head outside:

  • Considerate timing. The Boston Late Risers Hiking/Walking Meetup Group shows that scheduling Meetups around work schedules and other commitments is a good way to boost RSVPs.

  • Difficulty Ratings. The New Mexico Backpackers Meetup Group rates each and every Meetup based on difficulty. This way, beginners do not feel intimidated or overwhelmed, and more advanced athletes can go at their own pace.

  • Skill Sessions. For Meetups that require a skill, training your members is a good way to give them the confidence to keep on coming back for more. Check out this Ocean Skill Session from the NE Seacoast Paddlers for inspiration!
