| Itinerary: |
|
The plan is to take whatever navigation gear we have to the field and work through problems. The session will be informal, with the topics driven by participants. I want this to be hands-on so we can all become more familiar with our gear.
We will most likely be in Wind Valley, south of Canmore, or an alternate location if conditions require.

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.
