We will be volunteering with the Jasper Trail Alliance to do 4 hours of trail maintenance on Sunday, Sept. 18th. Free camping will be provided on Saturday night (Sept. 17th) at Marmot Meadows. We will also try and organize some fun mountain activities on Saturday. These will be participant-led, so please contact the organizer if you are able to lead an activity (rock climbing, hiking, scrambling, etc.). Camping on Friday night, if desired, must be arranged independently by participants.

Enough meals to sustain yourself, including bagged lunches for Sunday (and Saturday if you are participating in activities).

All trail clearing equipment will be provided. Depending on the activity that you may participate in on Saturday - please bring suitable gear.

Cancellations are available - please try and give as much notice as possible.
*Cancellation Policy*: If a participant is unable to attend a paid course or trip, there will be no refund unless the participant finds a suitable replacement that is acceptable to the trip coordinator. Acceptable waiting list candidates will have priority. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons. The Edmonton Section of the ACC is a not for profit club and we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.
