Searching for and navigating numerous sites (each with different formats & navigation) to find one event can be challenging at best!
At Active-Days, you get a combined, unified view of events, parks & resources and finding what you are looking for is a snap!

Enjoy a user-friendly, pleasantly designed site where you can search or browse events, destinations that match your timing and other preferences. In a few seconds, you can preview a great variety of events hosted by various organizations and with links to all relevant details.

You will also find quick summaries and pre-selected links to sites with quality information on the destinations, maps, weather, event details etc. thus saving you considerable time instead of wading through bookmarks or endless search results!

You'll enjoy spending that time reviewing your options (rather than struggling to finding a few), looking up interesting and useful information, and getting ready for a great time outdoors!

Finding interesting, fun event options without spending a lot of time is great.  Discussing event ideas with a group of like minded folks and enjoying the event together is even better!  

To connect with others, you can enter comments to share tips & reviews about the destinations and events; let others know whether you are going and coordinate carpools by posting RSVPs.

After attending the event, you can submit Event / Trip Reports to share your experiences with your old and new friends - and others who were not able to make it. Thus you can easily create an online blog of the fun things you have been doing.

NOTE!   After joining the Community, you can create and post your event for other Active-Days members.  So share your knowledge and energy about a place or activity that you are enthusiastic about and plan a good time!

Besides being a great portal for event participants, Active-Days aims to be a useful resource for organizations as well. It provides an integrated, feature rich platform that addresses the challenge of connecting everyone together! Everyone benefits from increased awareness and interaction.

Event Leaders & participants can communicate easily using our direct messaging features - keeping their phone/ e-mail information private and without phone tag issues!  Event RSVPs can become self-managed and fully transparent to participants - allowing them to make changes / sign-up right up to Event Start times (even on a Sunday).

In addition, organizations can utilize our carefully designed set of features (reducing unnecessary duplication of effort, investment & complexity!) which will allow them to focus more on developing and conducting excellent programs.  Here is some more info.  Please feel free to contact us with your questions and to get started.
