Outdoor activities groups near Redwood City, CA

Hey East Bay - I'm looking at starting a regular playing schedule. By joining the group, that helps me gauge the interest. Stay tuned. This group is focused on intermediate grass volleyball in the east bay. Players should be comfortable in their skills and not be brand new to the sport. This is to reduce injuries that can occur when new players are mixed with non-new players. This is also to encourage healthy competition in fair spread across the court(s). Game play will consist of a max of 4 vs. 4. You are welcome to bring your own net and team…. And drinks! Other than that, if you’re looking to meet other players, make friends, or just be active over the weekend, come join us!

We're a fun & friendly group that enjoys a variety of activities. We have regular meetups for going to the beach, hiking, bowling, tennis, volunteering. There are also meetups for softball, working-out, house parties, dancing, happy hours, ice skating, movie nights, kickball, game nights, volleyball, frisbee, eating out, the list goes on and on! Everyone strives to be friendly and welcoming at our events, so you'll have a lot of fun when you come out for an activity. See you out there! In the spirit of fun and friendship, Please behave respectfully and kindly to each member. Please do not contact other members you have not met or if they do not want you to contact them. You will be subjected to removal. Attendance Policy: With your RSVP, please make every effort to make it. Last minute cancellations and no-shows are not permitted. We ask you do make every effort to make events as we want our events to be as fun and attending as possible! We welcome anyone to be an Event Organizer. If you are interested, please send a private message to Jay.

Every Trail is a Bay Area outdoors activities group. Our focus is on hiking, but we also want to branch out to other activities like backpacking, kayaking, river rafting, etc. from time to time. This is a social group: our goal is to build a community of kind, generous people who share their love of the outdoors with each other. We are an inclusive group and we welcome members of all ages from multiple races and ethnicities, different countries of origin, and varied gender and sexual identities. Every Trail is a volunteer organization: the event hosts and organizers all donate their time without expectation of compensation. **Code of Conduct** Note: you can also [read the Code of Conduct here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1y5Jcx2NMut9BadoGdqv7M4Rh_yeB9QnvRpFqxuULOLY). Be kind to everyone. This includes other Every Trail members, event hosts and organizers, park personnel, and other hikers you encounter on the trail.  Every Trail events are a good way to make new friends and strengthen existing friendships;  please, avoid inflammatory and divisive subjects of conversation at events.  Join hikes that you can safely complete while maintaining a reasonable pace (\~ 2.5 miles an hour, usually). You are the best judge of your hiking abilities. Never expect event hosts or other hikers to walk slower than their natural pace to keep you company. Familiarize yourself with hike routes and use apps like [AllTrails](https://www.alltrails.com) to guide you on the trail. Remember, it is your responsibility - not the responsibility of the event host or other hikers - to ensure that you stay on the trail and don’t get lost. Treat the trails with respect and follow [Leave no Trace principles](https://www.fws.gov/project/leave-no-trace-principles). Dispose of waste properly (“pack it in, pack it out”), and leave rocks, plants and other natural objects as you find them. Follow all park rules and respect posted signs; respect private property and hike only in permissible areas. When on the trails, let nature do all the talking. Silence all electronic devices. Avoid yelling, and keep your voices at a reasonable level. Your fellow hikers - and the wildlife around you - will appreciate this.  Stay on the trail. Going off trail can damage or kill certain plant or animal species, and it can hurt the ecosystems that surround the trail. Bring dogs only on trails that explicitly allow them (service dogs are generally permitted on most trails). The presence of dogs must never diminish the experience for other hikers or for wildlife. Dogs must always be on a leash. **LEGAL DISCLAIMER:** The hosts of Every Trail events are not hiking professionals; we have no wilderness expertise and we are not trained medical professionals. When you join this group,  you assume full responsibility for your own personal safety. We are only responsible for organizing hiking events; we cannot know what hike will be appropriate for your fitness level.  Please understand your own physical ability and join hikes that you can comfortably and safely undertake. If you have medical issues that could affect your ability to participate in any Every Trail event, please consult with your doctor. By signing up for any event organized by Every Trail, you acknowledge that you are aware of the risks and dangers associated with any organized activity and you assume all such risks and dangers. Further, you agree to release and discharge the Administrators, Event Hosts, Organizers or any other Every Trail members from all liability. For safety reasons, you must have a recent profile photo clearly showing your face.

**SUMMARY:** This group is for people in their 30's and 40's who enjoy outdoor activities (such as hiking, camping, backpacking, etc.), active social activities (such as bowling), just hanging out after work over drinks, or grabbing a bite to eat on the weekends. Anyone who's easygoing and finds the previous statement appealing should join! This group is open to people who don't fall in the age range, but the focus is for this age range. If you'd like to know more about this group, and the various expectations of the members, please check out [outdoorsocialmeetup.ianascott.com](https://outdoorsocialmeetup.ianascott.com) **EVENTS:** Events will largely be weekend hikes and active social activities after work, with some camping trips, backpacking trips, and other outdoor activities TBD. Outdoor activities will extend past the SF Peninsula (e.g., the North or East bay for hikes, or the Sierras for a week-long backpacking trip). Primarily social activities will be on the SF Peninsula. **OBJECTIVES:** * Get outdoors hiking! Get some exercise while socializing! * Provide a social environment to hang out, make friends, and exchange ideas. **HIKES:** Hikes are the majority of the activities of this group. They typically range from a quick 3-mile to an all-day 15+ mile. Almost all hikes will be in the great outdoors. As such, hikers should have the appropriate gear such as hiking shoes, trekking poles, sun protection, layers, water, snacks, etc. Hikers should review the prompt before each hike and make a personal assessment if the hike is for them. Please do not bring guests as we need to manage group size due to trail limitations and the safety of the group! Unless otherwise specified, hikers must be 21+. Some hikes will have an after-hike meal or social hour, which is optional but typically fun! **CAMPING TRIPS:** Like hiking? Let’s find a camping spot somewhere with great hikes and spend a few days exploring the area! As with the hikes, campers and hikers must have the appropriate gear for the activity (tents, sleeping bags/pads, etc.). Participants should read the prompt before RSVPing and self-assess their ability to determine if the event is for them! Unless otherwise specified, campers must be 21+. **BACKPACKING TRIPS:** Like the minimalist lifestyle? Enjoy not being able to be contacted by work for an extended period of time? Want to test your physical and mental ability? Try a backpacking trip! Trips may be overnight or multi-day (I typically don’t do through hikes that last weeks to months at a time). Like the other activities, participants should read the prompt and self-assess if the trip is for them! Unless otherwise specified, backpackers must be 21+. **OTHER SOCIAL ACTIVITIES:** Every now and then an after-work activity may pop up. Could be something like bowling, minigolf, or something else! Come out and have some fun in a social environment after work! Read the prompt, decide if the event is for you, RSVP, show up, have fun. Unless otherwise specified, socialites must be 21+. **SEMINARS:** Don’t know how to backpack? I’ve introduced quite a few people to the experience. I have a seminar series that is aimed at getting the beginner more knowledge about gear, techniques, and methodologies than they thought they wanted. People with experience also found them helpful! Based on my experience and what people indicate they would like to learn, I may develop and host other seminars. **ATTENDANCE:** Please, please, please show up on time to the events you RSVP for! And if something comes up, change your RSVP! If someone is on the waitlist and you’re a no-show (or cancel the morning of), that person can’t magically show up at the event on time! **LEGAL DISCLAIMER:** The organizers of this event are unpaid volunteers and not expert guides or instructors. By signing up for an event you agree to assume all responsibility for your own safety, health consequences, conduct, and well-being. You hereby release its organizers, hosts, and participants from any and all liability, claims, demands, or causes of action that you now have, or may have in the future, for illness, injuries, damages, and/or economic loss of any kind or nature, arising in whole or in part out of the activities, advice, or information contained herein. You are also acknowledging that you are aware and have made your guests aware of the risks, dangers, and hazards associated with the type of activity and freely accept and fully assume all such risks, dangers, and hazards.

Anyone is welcome to join, I like to try and switch things up a bit here and there. The main point of this group is to have fun. If anyone has any ideas they’d like to share, please feel free. I’m open to suggestions. This is a chill zone, no pressure, let loose, hang out etc. I’m looking forward to seeing what the future holds with this group!!

Anyone who has good health, workout regularly, can hiking/walking minimum 5 miles with out health issues are welcome. Hiking, walking in the park, outdoors, you name it. But each individual hike meetup might have different level of difficulties, so please check with the event description/and organizers before you join the hike. For example, the Sunday afternoon Wunderlich County Park hike is an intermediate hike, you should be in shape to hike for about 5 miles with elevation gain of 800 feet. If you feel you want some less difficult hike, you can contact the host, become an organizer and start your own hike meetup. let's go out and have fun. http://craigspersonal.com/

Have you wanted to meditate and didn't know where to start? Intimidated by those people sitting silently looking very serious in their meditation, and didn't feel like you could join in? Come join us for a great easy relaxing meditation in the outdoors. Beginners very welcome, and we will start you out slowly. It is so much better meditating with others! For beginners, we will give more guidance. Also, this group doesn't have any philosophy or agenda, just the meditation. Both people looking for spiritual or non-spiritual oriented practice are welcome!

I am morphing this group to become a group for parents and kids who are and will be attending the Montessori program at either Parkside Elementary and North Shoreview Montessori.  I think it is important that the community of these schools come together informally to allow for play, conversation and growth.  My son will be new to the program so it would be nice to meet others prior to his enrollment and hopefully this group can continue throughout our kids' years there.

 

Some possible activities:

-Mom's or Dad's night out

-Parent Night out (alternating group sits)

-potlucks

-playgroups

We are a great group of people who are in their 20s, 30s, 40s and early 50s. We are friends eager to make new friends; fun friends who prefer activities, dining out and getting together for hiking and dancing.

I absolutely love the variety of the activities the great Bay Area has to offer. I love to meet with new people & make friends while engaging in different activities. I'd like to help people get out, exercise and make friends. I am an advocate of healthy & conscience living while in favor of balanced indulging time to time.

Let's get out, make new friends, have fun, extend our circle of friends and help our community!

And our number one rule is to be respectful of other members... The second one is to have FUN!

I am looking forward to having you in our group of great members!

We lead outdoor activities for families with children in the Bay Area.

All our activities are for families (unless otherwise noted), and children must be accompanied by a parent.

Our leaders are fully-trained according to Sierra Club standards and have at a minimum first aid certification. Some of us are trained in interpretation or as naturalists. Please join us in exploring the beautiful parks the bay area has to offer.
