Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Policies and Liability Release
The fine print is contained in our Policies.
Some of our events require that you sign a paper copy of our Liability Release Form.

What type of events are offered?
Both outdoors and indoors activities. Activities include: bike rides, happy hours, skydiving, horseback riding, canoe trips, camping trips, wine and beer tastings, bowling, drive-in movies, sporting events, club social get-togethers and much more.   Club members suggest events, then our team of Event Leaders make the necessary arrangements.

Who belongs to the Adventure Club?
Mainly professionals, both couples and singles, young and old.

How much does it cost to become a member?
Membership is $14.95 per month per person, family or couple living under the same roof.

Is this a singles club?
No.  It is an activity-driven organization where people of any age group or marital status join together to do fun activities that they would not or could not do by themselves. It is possible, though, that you will meet that someone special.

How do I join?
Click here to Join. Note: You will be asked to create your ACG username and password. Note that when you submit your credit card, the card number is sent to and stored on a bank level security server. It is never stored on the club server. Please also note that our free trial membership period is extended as a courtesy to new members. Returning former members are not entitled to any additional free membership period, as they already received a free membership period during their initial membership. Also, should a new member cancel within the free trial period, no charges to the member will be incurred, and all member access to the website and events will be discontinued immediately upon cancellation.

How much do events cost?
Some events are free, like hiking or bike rides. If the event is not free, each member is responsible for the charge set by vendors. Event fees can be paid on the club's website or at the event location. The price of each event is listed on the event's detail page.

How do I sign up for an event?
After becoming a member, log-in with your username and password to view our Member's Only calendar. Clicking on the name of the event advances you to the event sign up page.

Reservation Etiquette
Adventure Club Event Leaders spend quite a bit of time coordinating club events. With this in mind, please be courteous and considerate to Event Leaders and other members and follow the conventions below:

• Do not be a no-show. If you must cancel within 24 hours before an event, please change your website reservation status from Yes to either Waiting-List or No. Follow the change in status with an email to the Event Leader.

• If you have to cancel the day of the event, please contact the event leader. If it is 3 or 4 hours before the event, try the event leader's cell phone. Remember most members and Event Leaders check email only once a day.

• If you are uncertain about attending an event, sign up on the Waiting List. Understand that this is not a firm reservation, and you will not be expected at the event. Leaders will not count on you to show, and may not have room for you, and perhaps even start without you. Please move to the Yes list as soon as you can commit.

• Please DO NOT CRASH EVENTS THAT ARE FULL. Leaders have reasons for the limits on the number of people that can attend an event. These include cost, limited room in a private residence and limits on available resources (number of horses, number of windsurfers, number of seats at a restaurant, etc).

• Please refrain from entering racist or other inappropriate (sexual innuendo) comments on the website.

Do I have to sign any contracts?
There are no continuing financial or time-obligation contracts. However, when you sign up for an event on the ACG website you are restating your understanding, and wilfull participation and agreement, relative to the Adventure Club of Gainesville's "Policies" and "Liabilities Release Form". ( Note: these can be viewed by clicking on their links at the top of this page.)

Can I bring a guest to club events?
We love guests!  We ask that by the fourth event, your guest should consider joining the club.

What do my monthly dues pay for?
ACG Membership fees cover administrative costs related to maintaining the club such as website hosting, advertising, maintenance fees, office supplies as well as some supplies for activities. In addition, these funds are sometimes used to pay in advance for club events.

How am I billed?
Your membership fee will be charged to your credit card once each month by our automated software.

How do I cancel my membership?
To cancel your membership, use our contact form to send a message to managers. The cancellation notice must be received 7 days prior to the end of your billing cycle to avoid being billed for the next month. Your membership will terminate at the end of your most recent billing cycle. There are no refunds for membership dues.

Can I get an event payment refund?
If YOU can find someone to take your place and pay for their attendance, then yes, you can get a refund. If not, then no, there will not be a refund. Why? If we gave you a refund, then the cost for all other members who signed up for the event would increase. This would not be fair to the other members who signed up.

Are there other clubs like this one?
Not at this time.

Privacy Statement
Personal information that you provide during the "Join" process or in your personal profile is considered confidential and will not be shared with third parties. You can use your the "Edit My Profile" page to control the personal information that is published for other members to see.

Conflict Resolution
The club maintains a casual environment and wholesome atmosphere. It is the club owner's intent to ensure appropriate behavior, dress and language at events and text on the website. If a member's behavior, dress or language offends, antagonizes or embarrasses others, the Event Leader and/or Club Owners will first direct the member to this policy, but under extreme circumstances the member's membership will be cancelled.
