It’s Time to Climb
With the warmer weather washing over Kelowna, it’s time to dust off those old climbing shoes and start thinking about climbing outdoors! Check out Cougar Canyon in Vernon, Kelowna Crags near the Mission, or Mt Boucherie in Westbank! If you need to borrow a guide book, the club has a few at your disposal!

Get a Free Trip on Us!
VOCO has some extra money to spend and we want to have one last member event before the year ends! We’re looking for your suggestions: some ideas that the executive has come up with include a bus to big white and a free Friday night ski; wave pool rental at the aquatic center; free climbing at The Crux! Let us know what you want to do! If you have any ideas, e-mail: natmelas@interchange.ubc.ca
Caving at Gargantua
Hey VOCO members, another trip idea for you guys. This one is by Dan Franck and an awesome trip he has been on to the Gargantua cave system, right on the southern border of BC and Alberta near Crowsnest Pass. This is a great chance to get out there and explore some caves, apparently it doesn’t matter your skill level there will be something for you – anything for the hardcore caver to someone with no experience. Please check out the attached .pdf file for the trip idea. If you have a trip idea that you would like to share with other VOCO members, please email Dave at secretary@ubco-voco.com.
