VKC Schedule

Club trips are the heart and soul of the VKC. After all, the main reason we're here is to get together and paddle rivers in a fun and safe environment! VKC trips provide paddlers of all abilities the opportunity to meet with others and explore some of the most beautiful and exciting rivers in Southwest BC and beyond. Below is a list of trips and events planned for this year. Please note that a trip on the schedule is not finalized until an exact date and organizer are listed.

This year, we're trying something new, for some trips you'll notice that we've posted a general region 'Squamish/Whistler' or 'Fraser Valley' instead of a specific river. We're hoping that will give people signing-up an idea of a region, but the trip leader the flexibility to change the river according to water conditions as the trip date approaches.

VKC trips are organized by VKC members, which means that we rely on volunteers to step forward and offer to organize and support club trips and events. The satisfaction of helping others get on the river is well worth the effort! We welcome suggestions for club trips and are always on the lookout for new organizers and support boaters. If you would like to help out in any way, please contact the VKC Trip Coordinator.

======= IMPORTANT: Before participating on a club trip, all paddlers must become familiar with the VKC trip guidelines, accept responsibility for their conduct on the river and sign a waiver of liability. The guidelines and waiver will be posted here shortly (VKC members on the forum can also read the guidelines in the Trip Planning message board). In the meantime, please contact the VKC Trip Coordinator with any questions regarding what is expected of trip organizers and participants.

Check out the following link for a list of rivers suitable for club trips. The rivers are listed by location and difficulty.
