Sports & Hobbies groups near Santa Rosa, CA

NorCal Active

Rohnert Park, CA

NorCal Active
Northern California is a playground for outdoor enthusiasts: mountains, beaches, trails, rivers, lakes and vineyards. Let's take advantage of all it has to offer! This group is for active people who enjoy exploring and meeting fellow adventurers. Hiking will be the primary focus. Other events may include fitness walking, paddling, ice skating, snow sports, camping, or cycling. As a bonus, we may enjoy a picnic or restaurant visit after. The goal is to create a fun, social experience in nature for members to enjoy, including some time to snap some pics. Event times and lengths will vary, weekdays and weekends - whenever my schedule permits. I try to host a few each month. After work hikes are seasonal, contingent on daylight. During the rainy season, I don't schedule far in advance to maximize opportunities for waterfalls, snow, and springtime wildflowers. I volunteer for both California State Parks and Napa Open Space District and might mix in some trail work days - it's rewarding to give back. :) **GROUP GUIDELINES:** 1) I prefer to use a smaller group setting for events; I find it's more enjoyable for everyone this way. There will often be waitlists, and I don't allow +1s, unless you message me directly with a request. 2) I give priority to waitlisted members who have consistently attended events. 3) If you need to cancel, please update the RSVP on the event page or contact me. Even last-minute cancellations are okay as long as you follow this. I will remove members who have 4 no shows. 4) These are group events and the group is expected to stay together. If we get separated, the protocol is to wait at trail junctions. 5) For safety, please ensure you are fit enough for the event hosted. 6) Cost is free! There are no member dues for this group. If you love the outdoors, please join us in enjoying the beauty of Northern California!

Sonoma-Marin Brat Pack

Petaluma, CA

Sonoma-Marin Brat Pack
Welcome to the Sonoma-Marin Brat Pack! We are a fun, entertaining, and adventurous group of diverse friends who love to laugh and are looking to expand our social network the good ol’ fashioned way – getting off the couch and getting out there! We take suggestions for events and, if willing, even assign you as the host. Married? Single? New to North Bay or looking to explore this region? Lifelong resident? We accept all people. The majority of our members are born between 1970 – 1995, and prerequisites include being young at heart, a good sport, and being respectful of others. Bullying and verbal abuse will not be tolerated. Also required is a face-recognizable profile picture, so our Organizers can recognize you when you attend events. What kinds of events to expect with the Sonoma-Marin Brat Pack: we have a wide array of events from zip lining, rock climbing, hiking, camping, music festivals, bar crawls, trivia, dancing, night life, volunteering locally, exploring the rivers, mountains, beaches, and towns that make Sonoma and Marin Counties unique. We also have crossover events with other Meetup groups in the area. Events are a joint effort prescribed by your interests and participation. No show policy: keeping your rsvp current shows your appreciation and respect for the organizers as well as fellow group members. We reserve the right to remove members, and not showing up for an event, not letting your Organizer know you’re running late, not being prepared with payment method requested by Event Organizers especially at restaurants and bars are some examples of what may cause removal from the group. Also, please recognize that we are not professional event planners and participation in our events are at your sole discretion. Thanks for taking the time to learn more about us and we hope to see you at our next event!
