Welcome to Calgary Outdoor Club + More!

Free to join, and open to any adult in the Calgary area, 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 Calgary or surrounding areas, Banff, Canmore and Lake Louise, but occasionally we visit our neighboring provinces or travel further away from home.

Each month we have regular outdoor activities such as hiking, biking (road and mountain), kayaking and disc golf in the summer and skiing (downhill and cross-country), snowboarding, fat biking, ice skating and snow shoeing in the winter. On occasion we have social events such as bowling, movie nights and fireside get togethers.

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.
