Events & Activity Groups¶
The website is where you find trips to join and the groups that run them. This page covers both: browsing the calendar, and joining activity groups so events come to you.
The Calendar of Events¶
Event details are visible only to members, so sign in first. Then find Calendar of Events in the middle of the main menu. On a phone, look in the menu list at the upper left.
When you open it, you land on the current week. All nine event categories are color-coded, and you can switch any of them off to focus on the activities you care about. Events you've created show up under My Events.
A few things worth knowing:
- List view. Scroll down within the calendar for a list of upcoming events. On a phone the calendar grid doesn't render well, so you'll see the list view only.
- Week or month. Use the view control to switch from Week to Month, or scroll within the week for a more compact view.
- Sorting the list. The default All Upcoming Events List runs from now into the future. Click the Start or End column to change the sort order.
- Pinned views. You can pin a different list view, but we don't recommend it for the Calendar of Events — your profile remembers the pinned view instead of the default that shows everything.
Each activity group also has its own calendar list, filtered to that activity, which is often the easiest way to see just hikes, just climbs, and so on.
Activity Groups¶
When you first join, take a few minutes to find Activity Groups and join the ones you want to follow. Each group page has its upcoming events, posts, polls, members, and files. Group admins and managers keep an eye on the content, and you can like a post to keep following the conversation.
You're automatically joined to the Clubwide and Conservation groups. Posts to those reach the whole club, so they're reserved for general announcements and conservation news.
Choose how often you hear from each group¶
For each group you follow, decide how closely you want to track it by setting its email notifications:
| Setting | What you get |
|---|---|
| Every Post | An email every time someone posts to the group |
| Daily Digest | Everything from the past 24 hours in one daily email |
| Weekly Digest | The past 7 days in a Sunday-morning email — the default for every group |
| Limited | Minimal email |
When event leaders post new trips, the club posts a daily summary to the matching activity group. Following a group and keeping its notifications on is the easiest way to hear about new events as they're added.
Why are some names in a participant list not clickable?
When you look at who's attending an event, members with a public profile show as links you can click; everyone else shows as plain text. That's on purpose — it protects the privacy of members who haven't chosen to share a public profile.
