About us

Hi welcome to Social Activities. We do all sorts of activities that include kayaking, camping, hiking, nature walks, photography, biking, scuba diving, snorkeling, cooking events, BBQ's, poker nights, and just about anything to do with socializing.

So, if you are new in town or just want to meet fun and adventurous people this group is for you.

Please complete your introduction. If you are ONLY interested in DATING or ?, please join a different group.

This meetup group has a "no-flake policy": if you RSVP and don't show up, you will be banned from the group at the discretion of the organizers: no questions asked. Our organizers spend time out of their busy schedules to plan great events for our members. For those who just flake outright, it's pitiful, disrespectful, unprofessional, and utterly lame.

With that being said, come join us. You won't regret it.

DISCLAIMER: By being a member of this group you hereby agree to assume all risks and liability related to or resulting from any and all group functions. You agree that neither you nor any third party will hold any of the group's leaders, officers, or representatives liable for any injury, loss, or damage to your own person or any members of your family, friends, acquaintances, children, pets, or property, arising directly or as a consequence from a group activity. If you bring guests, you will also be responsible for their actions. You also agree that your membership of this group is based on an "at will" basis.
