Dear Chemeketan Climbing Community,
As we all eagerly look forward to reinstituting Climb School in the coming year, the Climbing Committee feels it is important to communicate some upcoming changes to what is, without a doubt, one of the critical events to the climbing group. The changes
Composition of the Climb School Coordinating Team
Chemeketan Climb School, starting in 2022, will be planned and executed by four (4) cooperative volunteer positions:
- Logistical Lead - Billy Bob Davis
- Classroom Lead - TBD
- Rock Day Lead - Erin Dubuc
- Snow Day Lead - TBD
The detailed Roles & Responsibilities for these four positions will be defined over time, by a small working group of interested persons, subject matter experts, and those that have been directly involved in comparable roles in past Climb Schools.
Oversight by Climbing Committee
The Coordinating Team will be expected to run any significant changes or key decisions (including, but not limited to: dates, venues, schedule, major publicity, costs incurred, fees, etc.) regarding Climb School by the full Climbing Committee. The Climbing Committee has final decision-making authority in these matters and any decisions by the Committee will be communicated by the Co-Chairs to the members of the Climb School Coordinating Team.
Coordination and Documentation
To ensure that key Climb School materials, documented decisions, and communications are available for the use of future members of the Climb School Coordinating Team, a repository will be set-up for the purpose of storage and transfer of these materials. The Climb School Coordinating Team and the Climbing Committee will both have access to these materials.
COVID-related Safety Practices
For the health and safety of the participants and volunteers of Climb School, the Climbing Committee and the Climb School Coordinating Team will work together with the Chemeketan Council to determine what modifications may need to take place to the various Climb School events, to minimize potential transmission of COVID.
It is understood that this process will take some time, but it is important for the long-term viability of Climb School. Thank you for your continued support and patience as we work through these changes. Climb School has been and will continue to be the success that it has been due to the contributions and hard work of ALL the volunteers that dedicate their time and talents to it.
Sincerely,
The Climbing Committee
