COC is a recreational organization, not a professional organization and does not subscribe to any sets of standards laid out by a national or international association. As such, we do not require volunteers to pass, provide, or write any kind of certification recognized by any national or international authority. All of our Event Coordinators and administrators are all volunteers who donate their time and efforts to organizing fun filled events for members.

COC was originally founded in April 2003. Statistics regarding the club can be found on our Statistics page.

Membership is open to any interested adult, regardless of his or her experience level.

A Virtual Clubhouse

The web site is the backbone - the "virtual clubhouse" - of the COC. Individuals can sign up for membership online in a matter of minutes. They can network with other members, interact with the volunteers, and register for upcoming events. The lack of overhead required by a physical office permits the club to continue to offer free memberships.
