This group is for anyone who likes to play Trac Ball or would like to give it a try.  Anyone can quickly learn in just a few minutes.  Playing Trac Ball involves 2 or more people standing at some distance playing catch.  You play catch with a plastic ball that you fling using a curved plastic racket that you hold in your hand and the racket also catches the ball.  The racket is like a mini hi-ligh racket.  The ball can be flung straight, in a high arc, and can even be flung so that it curves thr …

This group is for 18-25 year old, active people who love traveling, running, hiking, and exploring new areas and cities. This group is open to suggestions. Some ideas I have are camping at Joshua Tree National Park, A Road Trip to Oregon, and hiking at the Grand Canyon. We will do our best to have the best time possible without breaking the bank, since we foresee our group will have many student members on limited budgets. Looking forward to meeting you all and please feel free to come with some …

This is a group for anyone interested in hiking---with a mission to help others! Our hikes are drives where we collect items for local shelters and/or schools. We collect all items before the hike so we know, while hiking, that we are also helping others.

The purpose of this Meetup Group is to connect people in the Southwest for this adventure activity/sport/passion and to provide certifie …

It seems that most of the other groups tend to like to party well into the night after a day of skiing and bully for them.  This group is for those who would like to be able to go to sleep without getting woken up at 3am by returning partiers. If, after a day on the mountain, you wish to enjoy a jacuzzi, a nice meal in or out, good times and conversation, and most importantly... good night's sleep so you can hit the slopes the next day, this group is for you.  The group may do other trips, but f …

United Steps is a privately funded non-profit organization based in Los Angeles, California. Our primary mission is to reverse the cycle of homelessness with practical methods. In Southern California, we’ve developed a dangerous tolerance for assuming that having thousands of people living on the streets is acceptable. This is an embarrassing and shameful environment which has caused Los Angeles to become the capitol of homelessness in America. The reality is that more than enough food, housing, …
