History and Policies
of the Kamloops Outdoor Club

    In October 1936, a group of Kamloops people, who were interested in outdoor non-motorized touring sports, hiking, ski touring, canoeing, tobogganing,and bicycling, formed a society registered with the City of Kamloops.

    Except for the lull during the war years, the Club has maintained a continuous schedule of events with members volunteering as trip guides or event co-ordinators, including some three-day or week-long backpackinmg trips to various parts of the interior of the province and neighbouring Alberta. Also the social events, New Year's Day Ski, Fall Banquets, Christmas dinner, programme meetings usually every three months, and slide shows have always been very popular.

    The club avoids motorized sports, except for highway access to trailheads. Environmentally conscious, we leave the outdoors as we found it.
