SUMMARY:July David Thompson family climbing trip (trip full)
DESCRIPTION:Join the first-ever Great Plains Section family climbing trip! We’ll spend 12 to 15 July in the David Thompson corridor (climbing on 13 and 14 July). This trip is for families with children of any age. We’ll have climbing options in every grade range. The trip organizer will discuss the approaches and climbing areas with each adult participant to ensure this is the trip for them. Parents/guardians will be placed in groups with their children\, and at least one parent/guardian must provide supervision of a maximum of two children at all times (in other words\, one parent must always be on the ground). Please note that the trip is weather-dependent and could be cancelled at the trip leader’s discretion in the event of inclement weather. \nCost\nThe trip cost is $50 per participant. An active ACC Great Plains membership is required for each participant\, including each child (see the ACC website for family membership options). Camping fees will be collected once trip participation is confirmed. Climbing is outside of provincial and national parks\, so park passes are not required. \nGear\nParticipants are responsible for their own gear. Gear requirements include climbing shoes\, a harness\, carabiner/ATC\, and helmet (mandatory). Depending on the size of children\, full body harnesses might be required. The club has a limited number of harnesses and helmets available at no cost to participants on a first-come first-served basis. Please indicate on your trip application if you wish to borrow club gear. A recommended packing list will be provided to confirmed trip participants. \nMeals\nParticipants are responsible for their own meals\, including bagged lunches and snacks on climbing days. We will organize one group kid-friendly meal\, and cost will be communicated for those interested in participating. \nTravel and Accommodation\nWe will camp together near Nordegg\, AB (details TBD) in a location that can accommodate both tents and trailers. Families will be responsible for arranging their own camping equipment. The cost of camping will be split by the participants. We will explore a bonus night of camping on 11 July for families wishing to explore the area or settle in a day early (there are many excellent swimming\, paddling\, hiking\, and scrambling options nearby\, and Rocky Mountain House National Historic Site is within striking range). Participants must arrange their own travel to and from Nordegg. \nTrip Sign-up\nTo sign up\, email Jennifer Arends (j_l_arends@yahoo.ca) with the following information: \n\nFull names of all participants\,\nACC membership number(s)\,\nWhether you need to borrow any club gear\,\nEach participant’s level of climbing experience\,\nEach participant’s age\,\nWhether you are bringing a tent or a trailer\, and\nWhether you would like to join the family supper.
