The Kootenay Mountaineering Club promotes an interest in mountaineering skills, fellowship, and conservation of the natural values in the mountains.
Volunteers organized outdoor activities year round including hiking, climbing, skiing, mountain biking trips, week long climbing/skiing/hiking camps, and various courses on basic outdoor skills. Our volunteers also maintain four cabins in the Bonnington Range and we are involved in trail development and maintenance.
Upcoming Events
Launch at Slocan City. Paddle along the west side of Slocan Lake to Evans Creek, Cove Creek, Homestead Beach and Sharp Creek. Hike up along trails and overnight at campgrounds.

The Kootenay Mountaineering Club is subsidizing these courses to the amount of $25 per member. Please note we have a $75 course subsidy limit for any one member per calendar year.
Volunteer trip organizers will receive an additional subsidy of $25 over and above the regular member $25 discount, already included in the posted rates. To qualify, you must have organized at least 4 trips in the past year. This program recognizes the importance of all trip organizers within our club. If you think you qualify, please contact Peter at school@kootenaymountaineeringclub.ca first for an approval.
I am coordinating a day of rock climbing for club members and other interested folks, weather permitting. The location will be chosen based on the skill level of those who sign up.
Participants must have a harness, belay device, shoes and helmet know how to safely belay. I will bring the club ropes and quickdraws.
If interested please contact me via email.
