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.

About the Geminids Meteor Shower:
The Geminids Meteor Shower is known for putting on one of the brightest and most reliable meteor shows of the year, lighting up the night sky every December. Unlike most meteor showers, which originate from comets, the Geminids are the result of debris from the asteroid 3200 Phaethon. This creates slower-moving, vivid meteors that often streak across the sky in vibrant colors, making them a favorite for stargazers.
At its peak, the Geminids can produce up to 120-150 meteors per hour! We’ve chosen to host our meteor shower camping trip the weekend before to the actual peak because while the meteors will still be plentiful, the crescent moon phase offers darker skies, perfect for stargazing without the interference of a bright moon. It’s the ideal balance for catching a high number of meteors while enjoying the best possible conditions for visibility.CLICK HERE TO REGISTER
