Activities

How to find activities

Oak lets you search for activities, communities, and courses via a map view. You can browse what's happening around you or search a specific area.

1. Open the app and go to the search/map view.

2. Browse activities near you on the map, or search for a specific location.

3. Tap any activity pin or card to see full details including the description, date, meeting point, sport, and who's going.

How to join an activity

  1. Find an activity you're interested in and tap to open it.
  2. Review the details — date, time, location, sport, and the host's profile.
  3. Tap Join to confirm your spot.

Note: some activities are open (join instantly), while others are restricted — meaning the host needs to approve or decline your request before you're confirmed.

You must have your sport and skill level set on your profile for the relevant sport before joining an activity.

How to create a new activity

  1. Tap the + button or select Create Activity.
  2. Choose the sport (e.g. hiking, skiing, climbing).
  3. Fill in the required details:
    • Name — a clear title for your activity.
    • Date and time — when it's happening.
    • Location — where to meet.
    • Sport — the activity type.
    • For some sports, additional fields are required — for example, climbing grade for climbing. Oak will show you the relevant fields automatically.
  4. Add optional details like a description, what to bring, or a participant limit.
  5. Choose whether the activity is open (anyone can join) or restricted (you approve or decline each request).
  6. Tap Publish to make it visible.

How to edit or cancel an activity you've created

  1. Open the activity from your profile or activity feed.
  2. Tap the menu (or Edit).
  3. To edit: update the details you want to change, then tap Save.
  4. To cancel: tap Cancel Activity. All participants will be notified.

Note: participants receive a notification when an activity is cancelled, but not when details are edited.

How to delete an activity you've created

  1. Open the activity and tap Delete Activity.
  2. If you're the only person in the activity, it will be deleted straight away.
  3. If there are other participants, you'll be asked to transfer ownership to another participant before leaving. You can also choose to delete the activity entirely — in that case all participants will be removed.

How to invite others to your activity

  1. Open the activity you've created.
  2. Tap Invite or Share.
  3. Share a link via messaging apps, email, or social media so others can find and join.

How to leave an activity

  1. Open the activity you've joined.
  2. Tap the menu.
  3. Tap Leave Activity and confirm.
