Hey all!
The UAOC and COE have had a great relationship for many years, and continue to offer us great experiences at a discounted rate. Here is some information about their summer programs.
-Justin Smalley, UAOC President ************ Hello, I am writing on behalf of Custom Outdoor Experience(COE), a climbing school and guiding center in Nordegg, Alberta (180km West of Red Deer). We have worked with various outdoors clubs over the last 12 years and have run dozens if not hundreds of climbing weekends and courses with them. We have decided that over the next year we are going to bring together members of different outdoors clubs for rock climbing, ice climbing, and glacier travel weekends. These weekends will be a good opportunity for participants to meet other outdoor enthusiasts from a variety of clubs and areas. The weekends will be offered at a 20% discounted rate over our regular courses in the hopes this will encourage outdoor enthusiasts to try their hand at climbing as well as to encourage non-members to join their local outdoors club. The total cost for the weekends will be $240 including tax. This includes accommodations and home cooked meals at the Sheiling Mountain Lodge, certified ACMG guides, all equipment, and transportation during the weekend. Here is the schedule for this summer's outdoors club weekends: May 11th(evening) - 13th: Glacier Travel and Crevasse Rescue Course - no experience necessary. June 8th(evening) - 10th: Intro Rock Climbing - two days of rock climbing, no experience necessary. Aug 12th(evening) - 14th: Intro Rock Climbing - two days of rock climbing, no experience necessary. Aug 14th(evening) - 16th: Sport Climbing Course - two days learning to lead bolted rock climbs, must have taken 'intro rock' or have equivalent experience. Aug 24th(evening) - 26th: Intro Rock Climbing - two days of rock climbing, no experience necessary. Sep 14th(evening) - 16th: Sport Climbing Course - two days learning to lead bolted rock climbs, must have taken 'intro rock' or have equivalent experience. Winter 2007/2008: dates for ice climbing weekends not yet set. Custom dates are also available for groups of 10 or more. More information about these weekends can be found at www.coe.ca/guiding/clubtrips.htm. As well, we are willing to give a 5% discount to your clubs members on any of our regularly scheduled two and three day courses. Check out www.coe.ca for info on these. If you feel that some of your members would be interested in these discounted programs please pass this e-mail along to them or provide them with a link to our website where they can find more info at www.coe.ca/guiding/clubtrips.htm.

This is Jay from the COE, I haven't run into you out here in sunny Nordegg lately but I hope you are having a good spring. We are setting up a bunch of discounted summer courses for outdoors club members. They are open to members of any outdoors club or the ACC. Here is the e-mail that I sent out to all the other clubs. I know that lots of them have forwarded the e-mail to all of their members or put it in their newsletter because we have been taking registrations for some of the dates already. If you felt inclined to do the same that would be much appreciated. Thanks Justin. ----------------- Hello, I am writing on behalf of Custom Outdoor Experience(COE), a climbing school and guiding center in Nordegg, Alberta (180km West of Red Deer).
