About us
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.
