Events & Adventures Denver - Denver, Colorado

Jacob T.

I joined E&A after moving to Denver with zero friends and I'm so glad I did. Fast forward 4 years, almost every person I can call a friend in the mile high city, I met through the club. From exploring the city to hiking and camping, E&A has brought me countless memories. And most of those memories, I didn't even have to plan! Whether you're new to the city and looking to meet people or just want to branch out of your comfort zone, E&A will help you get there. Not to mention, the people who run the Denver office are awesome.

Thinking of signing up? Some people love this group and say it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to them.

I’m writing this review to offer an honest perspective of the downside of joining E&A
Overall, I regret joining. I know several other women who regret joining as well.

Reasons why I regret my decision:

1. I felt pressured into joining and it’s very expensive. I feel that their sales tactics are harmful because they pressure you to sign up during the initial call so you can get a “good deal”. If you don’t sign up right then and there you won’t get their “special” offering.

2. I was told many events would be free, but those events are usually at restaurants or bars, where I feel obliged to spend money. Most events have a large fee.

3. I was told there were 1000 members in Denver, but events sizes are often very small. I think the largest events have 30 people, but I’ve been to one event where only 3 other people attended.

4. There are about 2-3 times as many women as there are men. I joined this group hoping to meet someone, so this ratio is disappointing to me.

5. They should have an option to cancel after providing enough time to try out some events. But you only have three days to cancel.

6. There are plenty of other free groups on meetup, Facebook, etc…that host singles events. I wish I tried one before committing to this.

7. The events without activities, like just going to bars and restaurants are often very awkward. I feel like I have to work hard at being outgoing and friendly to avoid just sitting around staring at the wall.

To be fair, there are positive aspects of this group. I made a friend and we hang out outside of E&A. I’ve been to places I wouldn’t have found on my own. Some of the events made me feel less lonely. Sometimes I enjoy myself.

If you’re a heterosexual male you’ll probably feel like a kid in a candy store, depending upon the events you sign up for.

This is an amazing social club for signals. Denvers E&A group is an outstanding and fabulous club, however the photos I'm posting with this review are not only from the Denver activities, I'm also am including photos from the times I have visited the Seattle and Bay Area E&A club events as well with Lake Tahoe being one of the camping events to make a point that once you are a member of E&A you are welcomed and treated like family everywhere you go. Except for the Tahoe scenery, you will not be able to tell which Chapter is which due to the story the smiles and closeness the photo's present. With traveling the PNW and West Coast for work often, this feature of being a member has helped being away from home base a lot easier to handle. And the friendships and connections I've made are priceless and I know will last a life time.

The club is certainly what you make of it, in that you get to create the experiences you desire. I highly recommend E&A for what ever your intentions for socializing and creating new connections may be.

When I joined Events and Adventures I didn’t realize how much of an impact meeting these people and doing these activities would have on my life. The website on your phone is harder to use and I wish they had an app or a better website made for phones, but other than that you can still sign up and do events easily! It does take time to feel comfortable with the people that have been in E&A for years, but after consistently showing up to similar events on a weekly basis, my friendships with these people have absolutely come a long way. Regardless of your situation, I would highly recommend going with the lifetime membership. You never know what life will throw your way, and having a group of friends that you see on a regular basis to get you out of the house and doing an activity has really helped my mental health. If you travel to another state that also has events and adventures you can sign up for activities in that state as well. So if you move or travel a lot you can still get to do activities depending on where you’re going. I have made some lifetime friendships from this group, I hope you like to play volleyball because we take our volleyball pretty seriously in E&A 🤣!

Be very careful about signing up. I've felt very pressured from the start, they ask you to sign up on the spot during your Zoom call and it's $1,000 upfront. I then had a family emergency that turned my life upside down a week after signing up and asked if I could cancel my membership. They told me no, I had passed the 3 day cancelation period per their contract and I still owed them $1,600 for the remainder of the year even though I wasn't going to be available anymore to be a part of the events. They won't let me cancel without paying the remainder even though my dad is in the hospital and I've had to put my entire life on pause. Heartless organization.

Update... Memorial Day weekend we went camping in Canyon City. It was an amazing weekend! White water rafting, zipline, marshmallow fight by the campfire, theme nights... ugh.... I think I started living again when I joined E&A!

LIVING MY BEST LIFE!

I joined E&A about 8 months ago so I could even out my work life balance. I went to work and came home. For the most part my friends are married and have kids so it was hard to plan any get togethers.
There is a decent membership fee to join, but it's so worth it when someone else plans everything and you just show up!
There are always trips to go on in addition to the local events. I actually took my first international trip ever, to the Dominican Republic in Sept. I finally got to use my passport! I met, and am still friends with so many of the amazing people I met there! The owner of the club was also there and what a super nice cimpassionate and fun guy!!
I have made so many new friends and adore them!! I look forward to getting together with everyone and experiencing new things.
There are big extravagant exciting parties like New Years, Valentines Day and St Patty's day. I'm super excited to attend the Memorial Day camping trip!! And the weekly events are a laid back great time hanging out with all of these amazing people!
If you're new, take the time to get to know the people in the club, it can feel odd at first but isn't meeting new people always a bit uncomfortable in the beginning? Everyone is also very welcoming and will make sure you have fun!!
I truly can't say enough about the club, the people I have met, the fun and excitement each and every event I attend!!!

Thanks E&A!!

Disgustingly predatory business practices. When you sign up you are essentially agreeing to pay the lump sum of a year of membership, just over a year. So if your mom gets sick and you need to allocate money to help her, they will be ever so gracious to say, “Well you still owe us $1,044 but we will let you off the hook for $700”. Extremely predatory practices. DO NOT USE. These were my “options” because I was outside of their 3 day cancellation window

I've enjoyed most of the events over the past 4 months. I've actually signed up for at least 75% of them to try stuff out, & try to find a girlfriend. Besides the age range being mostly older than me (28) & there being more men than women. The events are still fun & everyone I've met has been nice. Plus it's pushed me to go try new things & socialize with people who I never would've met otherwise. The cost was also more than I expected & half of the events cost money as well, but once you figure out which events suit you the cost isn't noticeable since it's stuff you enjoy doing.
