What we’re about
## Who Are We
We are an active social club where members have a variety of activities, events, and trips to choose from.
The Urban Diversion team consists of staff and hosts dedicated to creating a community where people can come together in a fun, adventurous, and respectful environment of like-minded people. The UD team doesn't just organize and plan events - we participate and have fun right alongside you, so it always feels like a group of friends and friends of friends!
We welcome members of all ages and have members aged 20-50+ though the majority of our members are young professionals.
## Our Mission
"To inspire lifelong connections and community through unforgettable experiences and adventures."
## Why a Membership?
We operate on a membership model to cultivate a close-knit community of friends, ensuring you'll consistently see familiar faces at every event. Prior to forming UD, we attended several meetups but found many to be fairly transient. This led us to meet many people but not form deep friendships. Urban Diversion was formed with the intent to building lasting relationships. Many of our members have been attending events for years.
Membership involves a monthly fee that sustains our vibrant community and facilitates the formation of genuine, enduring friendships.
To become part of our community on MeetUp, please start by becoming a member at http://www.urbandiversion.com.
## Our Events
From waterfall hikes to sushi & sake classes; bungee jumping or a wild NYE party; backpacking Tahoe to wine tasting or even International travel... Urban Diversion has something for everyone.

ITINERARY
Join us for a fun weekend of Tahoe mountain fun with cabin living, shredding slopes, and chilling in the hot tub!Don't ski? Why you should try Back-country Snowshoeing:
Snowshoeing allows us access to untouched winter wonderlands hidden in the back-country, away from the hustle and bustle of large Ski resorts. The sport is very beginner friendly, no experience isnecessary. You can start off with easier/mild treks, and work your way up to steeper terrain and mountaineering.
It is a low impact sport, making it friendly to our joints and knees. Even if you do happen to topple over, you can't fall too far on flat ground, and snow makes for a soft landing.
One of the best aspects of snowshoeing is the abundance of gorgeous untouched terrain to be had in the winter. Snowshoeing allows you to access this untouched nature in ways other snow sports can't do nearly as easily! If you love hiking and nature, this is one of the greatest ways to explore the mountains in the winter months, and can be done even in lower snow conditions. It is also a common practice to combine snowshoeing and back-country skiing, making for an awesome day of skiing untouched slopes. Join your experienced UD host for this awesome trip, and experience the magic of snowshoeing with UD friends by your side!CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

### Beginner Rock Climbing: Flash Em Series

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER
What to Expect:
We will spend an evening top-roping with UD buddies at the gym! You will first take a professionally guided class offered through the gym, teaching you all the proper knots and belaying techniques. Once you're done with the class, Brian will point you in the right direction to get started with rope climbing! If you already know how to belay and tie-in, you can skip the class and just start climbing.
What is top-rope? Top roping is a type of rock climbing in which the climber is safely connected to a climbing rope threaded through a fixed anchor at the top of the climbing route. The rope extends downward to the belayer, stationed at the climb's base. In the event of a fall, the climber remains suspended from the rope at the point of descent, allowing them to continue the ascent or be gradually lowered by the belayer to the climb's starting point in a controlled manner.
Climb at your own pace. We can rest, chat, hang out, climb, and cheer on our friends! We can stay for several hours, and then go to local eatery for some refreshments once we get tired ;)
Sign up early and save some money. We want to share this sport with as many people as possible, so we're doing this event as cheap as possible for you!I mean.... LOOK at all those rocks, routes, and walls we can climb! Endless possibilities at this awesome gym located in the Presidio at the waterfront.
What is the "Flash Em Series?"

Have you ever want to try it? C'mon out and join us in this adventurous rock climbing series of events. You will learn the basic skills needed to start rope climbing: how to secure your harness, tie a figure 8 follow through knot, and complete your safety checks. You will also learn how to belay, catch a fall, and lower your climber back to the ground safely. Throughout the series, we'll build our skills and encourage each other to reach new heights.Includes:

# Leap of a Lifetime: Skydiving in Monterey Bay
Imagine the hum of the plane's engine fills your ears, blending with the rush of wind as the doors swing open. Your heart pounds as you inch closer to the edge, nerves tingling with every step. The world stretches out beneath you, a breathtaking view that steals your breath and floods your veins with adrenaline. Then, in an instant, comes the ultimate rush...
What to expect:
We will all be doing a Tandem Jump: this is where you will have a certified instructor attached to your back who will handle all the work and control of the chute.
The jump is from 15,000 feet, which will give us 60 seconds of free fall (approximately 2 miles), and a five minute descent under a specially designed parachute. Monterey Bay is the World's Highest Skydive since most companies jump from only 7,000 feet, which is only a few seconds of flight! We throw you out at 18,000 to give you more time to enjoy! So if you're feeling brave you can opt for the 18,000 feet jump!Includes
- Ground school and pre- safety seminar prior to the jump provided by an authorized independent, specially trained instructor.
- The required jumpsuit and goggles
- Your very brave host and lots of moral support from other jumpers... Why do this alone?
