OVERVIEW

This is a weekend group adventure offering participation in many activities. Activities such as hiking, treetop trekking, and aqua OGO (outdoor gravity orb with 25 litres of water in which you climb in and bounce, slip and slide down the hill) will be planned as a group, but all activities are optional. If you choose to participate in activities outside of those planned by the Coordinator, you will need to do your own research and planning. Accommodations will be at the Carriage Hills Resort in 2 bedroom suites. No meals are included, but each suite has a full kitchen so you can choose to make your own meals, or we can enjoy the many choices at the Horseshoe resort down the road (we get 10% discount). Specifics will be sorted out after registration and numbers are confirmed. Each condo offers 2 bedrooms each with a king-size bed, and 2 queen pull-out sofas in the living room. We will have up to 7 people in each suite, and sleeping arrangements will be arranged after registration is confirmed. Please be prepared to potentially share a bed with a same sex TOC member; if you'd really rather not share a bed, you can bring your own sleeping pad from home.

Participants will be confirmed on a first paid basis. Please be prepared to depart Downsview Station at 3:00pm on Friday; no alternate departure times will be arranged. Check out time on Sunday is 10:00am so expect to check out, go for breakfast, participate in a 2 hour activity and be back to Downsview no later then 3:00pm on Sunday.


ACCOMMODATIONS AND COST

The per person cost for the weekend's adventure at the Resort will be a MAXIMUM of $103.53. This includes accommodation for two nights at the Carriage Hills Resort ($90.67), taxes ($11.79) and a non-refundable transaction fee ($3.07). Group activities will be arranged, but all are optional. Additional costs are: all meals and activities. Prices for many activities are not yet available as we are still in the winter season, but information will be updated when it becomes available, and all folks on the lists will receive an email with those details. The $103.53 is due up front by paying the TOC's Treasurer and reserves you a spot on the trip. If there is an overage, the coordinator will return the appropriate amount of cash to each individual upon arrival at the Resort. Payment must be received by May 1, 2015 (noon).

Note the $103.53 does not include costs for car pool. Please do not pay your car pool driver directly; the coordinator will collect from each individual and then will pay the drivers.
