Life well Played!

Welcome to SCOA! Take a look around, find something of interest, and sign up!
Meetup.com has been a wonderful site to list our events. Our community, complete with video, forums, blogs and photographs is housed at www.SCOAOutdoors.net and is free to join.

SCOA has gear for sale too!

It is simple, we seek adventure in everything we do. Be it mountain biking remote, twisting, single track in the Sierras, hiking little-known trails in the San Gabriel mountains, camping in awe-inspiring locations, or surfing in Santa Monica - we are about the outdoors and adventure. There is no experience required, just a desire to get out and "do" it!


Nothing is off-limits - just keep it legal - this Meetup will try just about anything that gets us outdoors and sounds like fun. If you have an idea, we encourage you to bring it to the meeting so we can try it. Better yet, we can even help you organize and lead future adventures yourself. We are both leaders and followers.

We also do: rock climbing, kayaking, sailing, scuba diving/snorkeling, backpacking, orienteering, skiing/snowboarding, skating, skydiving, flight lessons, fitness training, travels/expeditions, wine parties, BBQ’s, and bowling.

So what are you waiting for - click join, answer some questions, provide a picture and hang on!

<p>Where were we? - oh - I just got through saying I was gonna take it easy. I didn't of course. There is a pitch off Chair 5 that is steep enough and fluffy enough to hang out for awhile. Too bad the light was so flat - the run was super tasty!</p>
