Kamloops Hiking Club organizes many events throughout every month of the year and members can select the ones that match their interests and abilities. For some that is only a couple of outings in a year and for others, it is a day each week over all 4 seasons. The value of the membership increases for those individuals who make the most of the opportunities offered by KHC.
But there is another benefit to being a member of a hiking club. When we go out on group hikes (inc. paddling and snowshoeing), we meet other hikers and over time, friendships form. Sometimes these social networks of like-minded people result in additional opportunities to hike, paddle, snowshoe, or travel in small groups. KHC organizes events, but members can expand that value to foster friendships, networks, and sharing.
