Itinerary:
Welcome to the '2006 OC Challenge!' This is an event which will hopefully become an annual opportunity for members of the Calgary & Edmonton Outdoor Clubs to meet, get to know each other and to compete in indoor & outdoor games - the goal.... to have fun and to decide the Ultimate Outdoor Club!

We will spend 2 days at the Shunda Creek Hostel at Nordegg, (there will be 21 members from the EOC and 21 members from the COC) and will have time to take advantage of some of the wonderful hikes (and other activities) available in the area.

We will be staying in a co-ed dorm cabin. Bedding will be provided and sleeping bags are NOT permitted.

Hikes will be determined as groups once at the hostel. If you prefer not to hike, you can stay around the hostel or sightsee nearby.

We will have a potluck dinner on the Saturday night.

Carpool Cost: The event coordinator(s) will help you to arrange a centralized carpool if you require it, but it's not guaranteed. Please DO NOT pay your driver en route. Passengers will pay the coordinator, and he/she will distribute the money to the carpool drivers. SO PLEASE BRING CASH!!! Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $174.00 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Monday, April 28, 2025). This is based on $0.09/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divided by 9. This cost will be multiplied by the number of carpooled cars, and divided by the number of carpool participants.
