Welcome to the Calgary Outdoor Club!

Free to join, and open to any adult in Canada, the COC brings people together in a fun, friendly and inviting atmosphere. We strive to offer a variety of events, with some things geared for beginners, some more challenging things, and lots of 'somewhere in the middle' stuff. And, we attempt to keep events as low-cost as possible. A majority of our events take place in the Calgary area, but occasionally we visit our neighboring provinces or travel further away from home.

Each month we have regular outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, biking, inline skating and canoeing (summer) and skiing, boarding, cross-country skiing and snow shoeing (winter), as well as social events, and "special" events such as white water rafting, caving, and dog sled tours.

The COC is 100% volunteer run. Get more general information, see our membership stats, and read our faqs for more information. Still not satisfied? Contact us with any further questions you may have.



 

Dat Peter Vu

The COC is very sad to announce that Dat Peter Vu passed away at 10:10pm on Feb 6, 2010. Peter joined the COC on October 17th, 2006, and attended his first event on January 27, 2007. He was at the top of our "most active members" list for close to a year, and attended 377 events in total (resulting in 1371 "event buddies"). It was not unusual for Peter to attend multiple events in one day, including a whopping four events on June 14, 2009. Peter had an enthusiasm and positive energy, as well as a gentle and generous heart that inspired all who had the privilege to get to know him. Peter passed away at the Agape Hospice, surrounded by loving friends, as he was, almost continuously, from the time his illness was discovered. The COC would like to invite friends, event buddies, and other Peter fans to post their thoughts, comments and memories in our Dat Peter Vu Guestbook.

A funeral service will be held at 10 am on Thursday at Sacred Hearts Church. The address is 1307 – 14 Street SW.
