Below is a list of steps for commonly asked How-Tos. Both our website (Wild Apricot platform) and our Club Calendar (TeamUp platform) have also have generic help links for their tools.
If you only use your phone or iPad to access the Club website and/or calendar - you should do so from the Apps (WildApricot for the website and TeamUp for the calendar) NOT by opening up a browser screen on your phone. Website tools don't always function or display correctly on mobile phones. These apps are easily accessible and downloadable from your Apple App Store or your Google Play Store.
You are not required to log in to the Calendar, but doing so will allow you to see and do things you can't without logging in - like viewing the Hike Calendar on your phone and/or removing your hike sign-up when plans change.
Finally what browser and OS (operating system) and OS version you are using can impact user experience. As always, if you're having problems doing basic things like viewing the webpage or the calendar, please let us know!

How to Sign up for a Hike from your computer or laptop
The Club Hiking Calendar is created using a program named Teamup. It is a separate tool from the website but is embedded in the HOME page.
To view information about each hike, click on the Hike Name. You'll notice hikes are color coded according to Group - Amblers are Blue, Ramblers are Green, Trekkers are Orange and Scramblers are Purple. These colors display differently depending on the type of device and OS (operating system).
Members are encouraged to sign up in advance for hikes. This gives the Hike Leader a better idea of how many hikers, carpools and snacks (if provided) to plan for. Note that some hikes have a limit on the number of signups.
To sign up for a hike:
- Click on the hike name listed on the Calendar you wish to sign up for.
- Click the SignUp button in the upper right corner of the description page. (Alert the Club if this is missing).
- Fill in your Full Name and Email Address (this may auto-fill for you after your first SignUp).
- Click Save.
You can easily use the Club Calendar from the website, without setting up a login. But you need to have logged in to sign up for the hike initially if you want to be able to remove yourself after signing up.
Setting up the Club Calendar login is a little more complicated than the website login.
- Click Create a Teamup Account.
- Type in your Name, Email, Password, Repeat Password. Include a capital letter and number for security. You can remain logged in so you won't have to remember this.
- Check box for I accept Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy.
- Click Create New Account
The program will automatically create a blank calendar for you. To link to the Club Calendar:
- Click + Add Existing Calendar.
- Type in the URL https://teamup.com/ks9e4yowuhpzk3oyzz then click the Add Calendar button.
How to View the Club Calendar on Your Phone or iPad
It's really handy to be able to view the Club Calendar on your phone when you're away from a computer - especially if you're leading a hike and want to see who signed up.
