Just a quick update for all our members
We are moving to the new website (kamloopshikingclub.ca) on Monday, April 1st, 2024.
We have been experiencing some recent issues with the Kamloops hiking club website, the website team and board are very aware of the frustration that everyone is experiencing.
We are also having some issues with posting, signing up and cancelling for individual events. A good website helps enable leaders and hikers to coordinate events. A smooth-running website provides everyone with a great easy to use experience and that is our goal. We have started with the help of Doug Smith to create a brand new website to give us a fresh start. When the new site is online it will look very close to the old site, but everything will be updated to the latest versions going forward. We will send out another update in a few days as to our next steps
We appreciate your patience during this transition period and are open to all comments and suggestions going forward.

Kamloops Hiking Club is a volunteer-driven outdoor club which organizes hiking, snowshoeing, backpacking, and other outdoor events for its members over 12 months of the year. Outings are chosen by volunteer Hike Leaders and posted onto the website. Members register for upcoming events online, meeting at the designated time and meet-up spot to venture out to the trails. Hikes vary from easy to difficult, as chosen by individual hike leaders. KHC leaders know hundreds of trails and routes in the Kamloops area and beyond. Information is provided for each specific hike on an event page describing the difficulty, duration, requirements, and other relevant information. Additional information on the trail or route is available by clicking on the location link provided.
KHC is open for renewing and new memberships in the early spring, and at some point in the ensuing months, KHC closes opportunities for new memberships to ensure that its membership total does not exceed its capacity for event spaces. Generally, events are kept to smaller groups which are more manageable and safer for all involved.
More Information on the club is found on pages on the website, hopefully covering all of the “need to know” items for both members and interested community hikers.
