The mandate of Kamloops Hiking Club is to organize hiking, snowshoeing, backpacking, and other outdoor events for its members first and foremost.    KHC has no obligation whatsoever to allow guests on events, but is willing to support non-members who are family members, new partners, new to town arrivals, or where the guest provides assistance to the hike leader (i.e. new hiking route/area) or where there are special circumstances.
