Description:

Have you ever wanted to lead a VOC trip? Or, have you already led a VOC trip but have some questions about leading winter trips specifically?

Winter on the coast definitely brings challenges and can be more dangerous compared to summer hiking and backpacking. As such, it is important to know the differences and learn how to lead trips safely.

Some of the topics we'll cover:

  • Winter safety hazards
  • Resources for planning winter trips
  • How to use the trip agenda
  • Q&A

Make sure to bring a laptop so you can follow along as we'll get some practice posting a new trip to the trip agenda!

We'll run the workshop in the clubroom, or depending on the number of interested people, I can book a larger room.

Feel free to send me an email if you have any questions!
