New Member Orientations

- hosted by E.B. 'Bernel' Sawyer
O
ptional evening orientation gatherings are held periodically. Slides are shown, club activities are explained, and new and old members have an opportunity to get acquainted with the club and each other. Watch the Compass newsletter, and this web site, Events for the actual dates. The orientations are usually the third Wednesday of odd numbered months, and are held in the clubroom.

Activity Schedules

As soon as you have joined the Club, you will receive the Activity Schedule. This quarterly publication lists all the hikes, climbs, bicycle trips, ski tours, and other trips sponsored by the various CMC groups throughout the State. As a member of the statewide organization, you are welcome on all trips, regardless of which group sponsors them. Each trip is classified by difficulty so that you may choose those that fit your present ability level. Our leaders are volunteers, so there is no charge, except minimal carpooling fees, for going on trips. The introductory material in each Activity Schedule explains trip classification and answers many other questions about trip. Peruse posted scheduled trips by clicking on one of the archived Compass Newsletters above.

Publications Received by Members

Besides the Activity Schedules, members receive the quarterly magazine Trail & Timberline which has been published continuously by the state CMC since 1920, and the Compass, the monthly Boulder Group newsletter. You may view these online by clicking the 'Compass' menu above. To download a copy of the Compass to your PC, right click on the underlined link, and choose "Save Link As" from the drop down menu. (Notes: Adobe Reader is required to read this pdf file of the Compass. And, dependent upon your Internet connection, this download could take several minutes.)

Monthly Programs

A slideshow presentation on some aspect of mountaineering or world travel is generally held on the second Wednesday of each month. These programs are free and open to the public. Look for listings in the Activity Schedules, Compass, and Events.
