SUMMER TRIPS 2012
COMING SOON
As of
Sunday, 22 January 2012
Welcome to the Summer
Trips Page! In here you will find many memorable trips on some of the finest
Ontario waterways, with fantastic camaraderie, good times, and plenty of
peaceful nature to invigorate the soul!
Please Note:
You must be a current member of the
Barrie Canoe & Kayak Club to participate in club trips and activities. Please provide your membership number when registering for
trips and outings. The
sign up sheets will be at the
Monday night paddle events (also posted online). Since these are “interest
only” sheets, members must still contact the trip leader for each outing.
You are responsible for contacting the trip leader well in advance of the trip
date to express your
interest in participating.
For safety reasons, the trip leader has the final say about who goes on
their
trips. Participants must assume all risks associated with the activity and must
provide the trip leader with a signed Medical/Emergency Information Form prior
to the trip. Non-members are entitled to participate as a guest of a member on
one day-trip per year and must sign the Waiver of General Liability and provide a
Medical/Emergency Information Form to the trip leader prior to the trip
beginning.
“Basic” means you must be able to control your boat in tandem with another
paddler. It does not necessarily mean that you must have certification -
please clarify skills required with Trip Leader prior to confirming your
participation.

From your tripping
coordinator:
This completes the
2011 summer tripping season. I would like to thank all the trip leaders that
gave of their time and energy to make this one of our best tripping summers so
far. As a trip leader myself I would also like to thank all the club members
that came out and enjoyed the great variety of outings we offered this past
summer. There is nothing like an enthusiastic turn out for an event to make your
trip leaders feel that their efforts have not been wasted and that the club
members are enjoying the various outings they offer. After all; It takes both
organisers(Trip Leaders) and participants to make for a great paddling season.
Thanks everyone for getting out there and doing it. Now watch for the
upcoming-2011-2012 Winter tripping list.

Trippers: Before you make or break a
commitment to go on a BCKC trip, please consider the impact on the
Trip Leader and other participants. A lot of planning goes into
these trips, and if you cancel after the planning meeting, a great
deal of reorganization has to take place. It is certainly not fair
to our wonderful Trip Leaders who give so much of their own time to
lead these trips. Please be considerate!
SEA KAYAKING CLASSIFICATIONS:
Pace/Endurance describing
the strength, endurance and fitness required to comfortably complete the trip:
A -
Not Strenuous:
Daily paddling typically less than 3 hours, with distances of 10 kilometers or
less.
B -
Moderately Strenuous:
Daily paddling, typically between 3 and 5 hours, with distances of 10 to 20 km.
C -
Strenuous:
Daily paddling typically more than 5 hours, with distances of 20 kilometers or
more.
Skills Required describing
the paddling skills and seamanship required to handle safely the situations that
could be encountered on the trip.
1. Novice:
Requires basic-paddling skills, practiced wet exits. Expect protected
waters, easy landings, and shelter for resting.
2. Intermediates:
Requires basic paddling skills including the ability to brace, self-rescue, and
participate in assisted rescues, comfortable in
one-meter waves. Mostly protected waters, some difficult landings, and
some sheltered spots for resting.
3. Experienced:
Requires advanced paddling, seamanship and rescue skills. Ability to
handle waves greater than 1 meter. Expect exposed
waters, open crossings,
large waves, and moderate to strong winds, surf, fog, and potentially difficult
landings. Sheltered resting and landing spots
could be few.
4. Expert: Requires advance paddling, seamanship and rescue skills.
Ability to roll is strongly recommended. Expect long open crossings,
rugged and exposed coast, large waves, strong winds,
surf, turbulent water, fog and difficult landings.
The
term “exploratory” indicates the organizer has not been on the planned route or
in the area before. Therefore, trip conditions cannot be predicted from
past experience.
NOTE: Trips are classified in advance. Weather conditions may make
it necessary to modify these classifications on the day of the
event.
