IT IS OFFICAL! THE CLUB HAS A NEW NAME! The Grant McEwan Mountain Club (GMMC) is now the Alberta Adventure Mountian Club (AAMC).
Join us to celebrate this historic event with an amazing weekend of food and fun as we adventure and socialize in the lovely mountains of Nordegg and the David Thompson Valley.
The club has booked 18 hostel beds at the HI Shunda Creek Wilderness Hostel for Friday and Saturday nights on Oct 11 and 12 / 2024. The club will pay 50% of the hostel fee ($40) leaving only $40 for you to pay for a weekend of fun! Once you sign up for the trip, we will send you the link to pay and we require payment to be completed within 48hrs.
There will be a Turkey dinner on Saturday night after our day of activity. This will be a pot luck style dinner, so a list will circulate asking participants bring a dish to share.
Check in to the Hostel Friday night for a leisurely morning get up. We will plan on leaving the hostel by 8:15 am on Saturday.
The activities for Saturday will be volunteer led and can include hiking, scrambling or climbing... depending on what trip participants are willing to lead and what people are stoked to do! Come with an open mind ready for fun! Returning to the hostel by about 4 pm will enable everyone to prepare their dish for supper.
Sunday can be open for smaller meet up group activities or commuting home via the Miners cafe pie shop.
Note: A Whats App chat will be created closer to the event to discuss logistics and details.
Also please note there are no refunds once you have paid the $20 fee.
