What we’re about

CLICK HERE to see our main meetup events calendar http://www.socialfundation.com

Focused on anything that makes you move! Hiking, bicycling, camping, backpacking, running, kayaking, swimming, surfing, rock climbing, bouldering, bungee jumping, mountaineering, sports—if it can be done with a group, it can be done with Anything Active.

Participation
For some events, you may be advised and expected to have a certain level of physical ability and stamina to participate in the activity. There are inherent risks with any active sport or activity.

Attendance Policy
Please RSVP to events only if you plan on attending. Be sure to update your RSVP if your attendance plans change, and avoid last-minute changes whenever possible.

Dog/Pet Policy
Dogs are permitted at events only if expressly permitted at the location or for that event. For the safety and comfort of members, dogs should be leashed at all times.

Child Policy
It is your responsibility to read the event description and decide whether the activity is suitable for your kids.

RSVP Limit for Some Events
RSVP limits are at the discretion of the event organizer. Big groups can be hard to manage and at times not all that fun for organizers and attendees alike. Please respect the RSVP limit and understand that organizers are volunteers - events have to be fun for us or else we have no reason to keep doing this.

Gender/Age Preference for Some Events Some events may be tailored to a specific gender/age range (e.g., a women-only backpacking trip or a 20's and 30's hike). This makes it easier for members to meet fellow adventurers who share similar interests. Anything Active was founded with members in the East Bay, but we have since expanded to become a comprehensive activities group.

Tell me about food and everything else . . .

The logistics of providing food for every possible diet, as well as food prep issues is just not feasible or safe.

AND

Due to varied dietary needs and food contact issues, it's better if bring what you like and prep it.

What gear do I need?

The only specialized gear you need is Tent, Sleeping bag, Sleeping Pad (yoga mat). Everything else is household items you already have.

Special note: this is Tent camping. No RV. No Trailers. No giant campervans.

Can I park my car next to my tent?

Sniffing tires, oil, exhaust and fuel? Yuck!!! You cars will be close. But not on top of us. Cars on one side. Humans on the other. If we overflow our parking area . . . there is an overflow parking area.

Carpools?

Carpool info goes out ONLY to paid attendees. (it really sucks to set up a carpool with a person who is not actually going)
Carpool info ONLY goes out to those who fill out the ATTENDEES/CARPOOL FORM (this way it is reliable info)
Carpool info goes out all at once (not as you sign on)
Carpool info goes out 1 week before the event. Too early and most carpools fall apart. It really sucks when your ride canceled at asked for a refund a month ago but did not tell you. Carpools info sent when it is stable of who is attending.
Carpool in week before makes sense because that's when people can really determine schedule and departure time and availability.

Refunds?

If requested 2 weeks before event start: 100% refund.

If requested less than 2 weeks: 100% Full Credit be applied to ANY future event we run.
