This page updated September 28, 2022

The Vernon Photography Club organizes field trips and outings throughout the year to enable members to visit and photograph interesting and unusual locations.
Our Outings Committee seeks out local and regional locations for our members to visit as a group.
Outings and field trips are a unique opportunity to experiment, share knowledge and learn in a fun and supportive group.
See our Outing Galleries for some of the images captured by members on previous outings.
Please note that club outings are for current, dues paid members in good standing only, except immediate family who are accompanying a member on an outing.
Outings may be to places that require extra fees paid by the members who attend.
EG: - Park entrance fees, Entry fees to a business site or private area.
* COVID HEALTH PROTOCOLS*
Attendance at outings will require vaccination consistent with the BC Vaccine Card.
Thank you for your understanding in keeping us all safe and healthy.

~~*October 04, 2022*~~	IMPORTANT OUTING NEWS – OCT 4 OUTING POSTPONED The hot, dry summer that we have experienced this year has severely reduced the number of mushrooms that we had intended to focus on for our October 4 outing to Mabel Lake. Alternative targets for the outing such as Cascade Falls are also suffering from the drought. As a result, it has been decided to postpone the Mushroom Outing until next year. An October outing will take place this year and we will announce the theme, date and location soon. I understand that several members were intending to camp at Mabel Lake Provincial Park. Some of these members are still planning to camp, despite the cancellation of the October 4 outing. We are disappointed that we need to cancel this outing but we look forward to the “new” outing in October and the return to Mabel Lake in 2023.

	Completed 2022 - 2023 Outings If you attended any of these outings, and have images to share please contact Bob Johnson - *[email protected]*
