Every club member is supposed to do a workhike before borrowing any club gear. Typically, there are lots of people who want to do workhikes in the fall, but no execs keen enough to organize them. Here are some ideas for workhikes that typically happen. Some of these require a big group effort, and some are more individual oriented.

VOCJ Indexing
This is an ongoing project, and an easy workhike that can be done anytime. All you have to do is read an edition of the VOC Journal, and then build an index for the articles. Record your index, and the table of contents, here in the Wiki, on the VOCJ index page. Because the wiki is so accessible, you can do this workhike anywhere, anytime.
Author a new wiki page
- Contributions to Trip Ideas are always needed. Write about a worthwhile climbing, skiing, hiking or mountaineering destination you have visited.
- Add your favourite backcountry cooking recipes
Ski tune ups
Typically a ski tune up night is held in October before the snow really starts to fall. This is usually a big group effort organized by the Quartermasters.
Lead a trip
For some, this is the easiest workhike. Just post and organize a VOC trip. It can be a casual day trip, a weeklong epic or anything in between - your choice. The trip has to be publicly posted on the bulletin board to count, you can't just go hiking with some friends and call it a workhike.
Man the VOC table at Club's Days
Tell everyone about how great the VOC is, take their money and sign them up for a membership.
Be an instructor
Sometimes there are a few honorariums for those who do, like free food, free wine, free ski lift ticket, etc. Some events that need instructors are: Longhike, Glacier School, Winter Longhike and Tele School.
Help prepare food or clean up after an event
Longhike and the banquet don't happen without help. Earn a workhike by helping cook or clean.
Give a Wednesday Slideshow
Have some slides you want to share? Just sign up to give a wednesday night slideshow. Be sure to attend a few first so you can get a handle on format, equipment and expectations.
Help with Hut Maintenance
Or do some work on the New Brew Trail or Brew Hut Rebuild projects
