Outdoors and Active, Inc.

Outdoors and Active, Inc. is a non-profit group of Orlando area professional singles that enjoy outdoor and indoor activities. While physical activity is the spirit of the club, and all skill levels participate, many of the activities do not require this. Happy hours, dinners at Orlando area restaurants or member's homes, board-game nights, discussion groups, dancing, and attending a theater are included in the many non-physical activities. Membership and activities are open to singles - legally divorced, widowed, or never married - over the age of 21. Most of our activities are non-smoking events.

Membership is 440 and climbing
As of September 29, 2009

Here are comments from our members

One member stated
"Outdoors and Active has made it possible for me to meet other singles in the Orlando area and helped me to make friends with those who I have something in common with. It has also given me activities to look forward to that I wouldn't have done without this club. The trips that the club sponsors are good too, because they allow people to go together who otherwise would have to travel alone. I have joined other clubs but it is my opinion the nicest and most professional people belong the Outdoors and Active singles group."

Another stated
"I was divorced and single for the first time in 12 years. I was not ready to date, but wanted and needed some social activity. I found Outdoors and Active to provide many events and activities that I didn't feel pressured or a "fifth wheel". I was able to go canoeing with a group and actually have fun. I attended an Outdoors and Active Happy Hour and met some more members. For the times that I wanted to relax, a movie night with a group of O & A singles was just the ticket. I attended a dinner at one of the local restaurants with some members and we had some great discussions. What a great group of people belong to Outdoors and Active!"

One female member said
"At the time of my divorce I was quite uncertain of myself, but I enjoyed tennis. I ventured out to tennis with Outdoors and Active and felt so comfortable and in control. This activity became the anchor of my week. I looked forward to getting some exercise and seeing my new friends every Friday night. As time went on I ventured out to other of the many singles activities with O&A members. I would pick and chose what events I would attend. I have enjoyed trying new experiences and especially meeting new people that I would not have ordinarily come in contact with. I have made some wonderful friends in the Outdoors and Active, both male and female."

Someone else stated
"I joined a few singles groups after getting divorced. I always felt pressured and uneasy. I went to a few Outdoors and Active events and realized that this group was very different. No pressure, just fun and with some very nice people. My membership in Outdoors and Active is a must. The events are always great and lots of events to choose from. I go to the ones that I like and meet other singles with similar interests."

Another member commented
"Outdoors and Active gives me the opportunity to meet many different singles and form great friendships. I have also had the chance to do different things that I would not have done it were not for Outdoors and Active."

A long time member stated
"Outdoors and Active has been important to me as a social outlet. I have been exposed to a variety of activities since joining that have been both enjoyable and rewarding. I look forward to continuing membership as I would miss the camaraderie. It has been a positive, pleasant experience. It's been a wonderful way to go to the many events in the Orlando area with other singles."

A member who joined recently said
"I joined Outdoors and Active because I wanted to become more active. I raised my children, have more time, and wanted to restart on an active footing. The name implied that I would be with others looking to stay active in the middle years and the social aspect seemed perfect."

Yet another comment
"I joined for friendship, fun and a social life. It has enabled me to go places, do things, and meet people that I otherwise wouldn't have."

Another commented
"I joined Outdoors and Active to meet people and see different places with a group. I enjoy game nights and canoe trips."
