On the Tuesday evening of June 24th the T&L committee will be hosting a trip leader summer kickoff event at the CAOC building.
This event is open to all trip leaders and any members that have an interest in becoming a trip leader and/or wish to assist trip leaders with their trips as a second in command. Also those members that wish to participate in many trips this summer are welcome to come out and join us this evening.
The purpose of the workshop will be to go over and re-familiarize ourselves with the ins and outs of trip leading, right from the initial posting of the trip, setting expectations, participant selection, carpool dynamics, trailhead briefing, on the move, incidents, return and debrief, accident reports etc. to the last goodbyes at the end of the day.
We will introduce the various topics and moderate a group discussion in order to learn from each others experience.
We are also looking to use this evening to generate some enthusiasm and see if we can get more alpine trips on the schedule this summer. To this end we hope to brainstorm about which peaks are on our "wish to do" list. Is there a peak that you would like to climb, but don't quite know how to go about making it a club trip? Let us assist you.

| Required Items to Bring: |

It would be useful for you to familiarize yourself with Trip Leaders Handbook, which can be found on the website within the Waivers & Documents section under the OTHER Tab at the top of the website, so that we may answer any questions that you have and/or take up your suggestions on how we can improve this document.
|
|
| Recommended Items to Bring: |
|
A sincere willingness to share your experiences and to learn form those of your fellow trip leaders

Cancellation/Partial Attendance:
Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!
Cancellation Policy
If a participant is unable to attend a paid course or trip, there will be no refund unless the participant finds a suitable replacement that is acceptable to the trip coordinator. Acceptable waiting list candidates will have priority. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons. The Calgary Section of the ACC is a not for profit club and we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.
