2017 Calgary Section Summer
Camp:
Fairy Meadows; the Adamants and Gothics. NOW
OPEN TO ALL SECTIONS
"solid
rock with exceptional opportunities for
climbing". The Adamant Group of the Selkirk
Mountains provides climbers with a wealth of
fantastic opportunities. The peaks here are
mainly granitic and there are several classic
routes of various lengths and difficulty to
challenge all types of climbers. It’s Awesome!
Instructional week and Self Catered 7 days
camp (There is the option to have breakfast and
dinner catered - this would be an additional
cost of $25 per day)
*Much more* information can be found on
the
Summer Camp
page.
This year we have Brent Peters ACMG Guide and a
practicum guide running a week of Section Camp!
This will be an instructional week suited to
people who have either taken part in the AMP
mentor program or wished they had!
The goal of the AMP program is to develop
stronger mountaineering base of trip leaders
and participants in the Alpine Club. Since this
is a mentorship event, participants are
expected to make decisions and actively
participate in trip organization.
For more details on the AMP program refer to
the ACC site http://www.acccalgary.ca/alpine-
mentorship-program
This instructional week will be suited to
AMP Level 2 - “advanced beginners” to
“intermediate” mountaineers who have done a
handful of alpine and lots of scrambling or ski
mountaineering trips in order to allow them to
move from PD to AD level and AMP Level 3 -
intermediate members to increase their
confidence in leading alpine trips at the PD+
and AD level. There will be a few days of
instruction followed by some peak days with the
more experienced participants leading a rope
with Brent and the practicum on hand to observe
+ comment, (this of course would be dependent
on the skill level of the participants).
Interested? Then sign up for the week
and download the application form, once
completed please email it to Clare
(clareormerod2@gmail.com) and she’ll review it
and send it to Brent.
Also feel free to email with any questions you
may have. Once Brent has reviewed your
application Clare will contact you to
let you know if you are on the week. A deposit
payment must be made before you are moved off
the wait list and confirmed on the trip.

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.
