As we open registration for new memberships, we would like to offer some information for potential new members.   Please take the time to find out more about KHC (links are provided in blue).

• Information on KHC’s background can be found on this page.
• All of our events are group events and leaders run the events according to KHC’s Guidelines and Expectations.
• Booking a place on an event (hike, snowshoe, paddle, etc.), commenting, announcements, etc. are all done through the website and to do this you need to be logged in to the website.   Information on how to do this is found on the Website Help Page.   Members will need to remember their login and password.
• KHC has developed policies on Guests, Dogs, Minors, Waivers and other outdoor recreation issues, all of which can be found on the website.
• Hike Leaders set the dates, times, distances, difficulty, locations, and how the event will go.   Events range from easy to very challenging.   KHC has developed a template that takes into account possible variances for each event.   Participants need to carefully read the event listing to make sure the event fits their abilities, experience, and interests.
• Events require pre-registration and when the event is full, most leaders will not add more spaces.   There is no waiting list system.   Long-term members know how the system works so tend to be more successful at securing spaces on popular hikes, snowshoes, camps, etc.   The key is to check the website often.   Tips for Successful Bookings are also found on the website.
• With this system, we expect members to book responsibly (book an event only if you are committed to being there), to cancel in a timely fashion if necessary, and to communicate responsibly through comments.   Frequent cancellations, no-shows, or negative communications is not acceptable.
• KHC is run by a volunteer Board of Directors and all of the Leaders are also volunteers.   We expect members and leaders to work collaboratively, respectfully, and in a positive manner at all times.

Retired now, I get into the outdoors most days to hike, paddle, camp, snowshoe, run, walk, or explore. More information can be found at: KamloopsTrails.net.
