Be safe, watch out for one another. Your arrival times back home will be completely dependent on the trip you choose to participate in. Please remember money to pay for camping and food. Camping is ~$30 a site (participants to pay Parks directly for their sites when they arrive) and dinner will be $15. We are making a change from last year, and participants will be required to pay for dinner up-front. In the past we've lost money when only half the registered participants show up. Please help us stick to the budget! You can do an email money transfer to: treasurer@acccalgary.ca. You must submit your payment for dinner prior to January 7th.

Trip Leaders:
Since the group is more spread out this year, and we have much better cell reception, we will not be using radios. If you get into trouble, call 911 first. Then call Mark (403-681-9906) or Nicole (403-671-9415) to let us know. If you are going to be late, you might also want to send us a message so we do not eat your chilli!

Beginners:
If you have climbed ice 0 or 1 times before, stay posted, we normally have at least one beginner friendly trip on the calendar for the weekend.

For those of you who wish to bring under-aged members out for the weekend -you will need to sign a special waiver for the under-aged participant and the guardian that signs the waiver will have to be in the company of the participant for the period of time that the under-aged participant is involved in the trip. We are happy to have ACC members of ALL AGES attend these events but the nature of winter camping, ice climbing, and the nature of this event make it important that the under-aged participant be in the company of a parent or guardian at all times.
Required Items to Bring:
This is a 2 day winter camping event - come prepared -
- Tent, Sleeping bag (-30 bag recommended), warm clothes (spare, warm clothes)
- Climbing gear: harness, helmet, belay device, 2 locking 'biners, technical ice tools
- Cooking gear: stove, at least one dish or bowl, at least a spoon. We do not provide dishes so bring your own!
Be sure to bring a supply of drinking water - keep a couple -sealed- bottles with you in your sleeping bag.
Be sure to bring some food for lunches and breakfast on Sunday morning. Instant Oatmeal works great!
- Camp Chair (handy for sitting around the fire)
- Hiking poles (helps with creek crossings)
- Headlamp (it gets dark at night)

Recommended Items to Bring:
Sense of Humour!

- A shovel (for clearing a tent pad)

Cancellation/Partial Attendance:
Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!

Please withdraw from the event if you find you are unable to attend.
*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.
