Victoria Outdoor Club

Hello hikers,
*All of the weeknight hikes in June will be held at Thetis*
Come join us for an approximately 8-10km "mystery" hike. We will meet at the main parking lot at Thetis Lake by the split-rail fence near the ticket booth. Well-behaved dogs are welcome (let us know on the event wall if bringing a dog).
*Please arrive 5-10 minutes early - especially if it's your first event. We will wait a maximum of 5-10 minutes for latecomers.
*Note that it is pay parking at this time of year (bring cash or a credit card)
We will be out for around 2.5 hours (return time is approximate - we'll be back before dark - Meetup insists we list the duration of the event!)
This is moderate-paced hike with some rooty and rocky sections. Please wear sturdy hiking boots or shoes.
Bring snacks, water, layered clothing and a headlamp or light as backup. (The 10 Essentials are always recommended!)
Yearly membership for VOC is $30 per year. You can pay by e-transfer to victoriaoutdoorclub@gmail.com or in person. *Drop in fee is $2.
*Anyone who hasn't already needs to read and sign the club waiver once in 2026. I will have copies on hand at the event!
*IF you are not able to come, reservations close at noon the day of the hike - if you can't come, please take your name off the list so someone else can. If you are on the waitlist, it's a good idea to check if you've been added before you leave work/home for the hike! (The system adds people last minute). It is unlikely we will ever get 20 people on a hike, but I've set this limit as we do get last-minute cancellations.
*Please make sure you have your meetup profile set up with our club before attending an event. We use the meetup profiles to keep track of who has signed their waiver for 2026.
