Membership Information

Now selling 2011 memberships; memberships bought in September 2010 are good through December 2011

You do not need to become a member of Edmonton Overlanders Orienteering Club (EOOC) in order to participate.  Maps for non-members at Wednesday park events cost $7 each.  Maps may be shared, but we recommend that everyone has one to get the most fun and best experience.

We sell two kinds of memberships, both of which run from Jan 1 to Dec 31- full AOA membership or associate memberships.

Full membership
This is membership in the Alberta Orienteering Association (AOA)  and includes membership in EOOC.  This gives you club benefits (as listed under associate memberships below), AOA benefits and Canadian Orienteering Federation (COF) benefits.
The COF provides the club with liability insurance, develops rules, manuals and guidelines for putting on forest events, officials certification and coaching.
The AOA makes our forest maps, sanctions our forest events, provides officials certification and organizes training camps.  In November the AOA puts on a retreat for its members with a range of courses and talks of interest to its members.

Fees are $30 for the first person in the household* and $15 for additional members, with one third discount for full time students and those over 65. There is no charge for children 11 and under on December 31 of the membership year.  There is a maximum fee of $55 per household.
Benefits include discounts at orienteering events nation wide and newsletters from the AOA and COF.   Download the membership application form or  register on-line.  You may also purchase a full membership at any EOOC event.
(*household = those resident at the same address)

Associate membership
This basic membership is with the club only.  Benefits include discounts at park and forest events put on by EOOC, bulletins, email reminders/updates and discounts at our sponsors' stores.
The fee for an associate membership is $20 for an individual or $25 for a household.  Download the membership application form 
(household = those resident at the same address)
Memberships may be purchased at any EOOC event.

Both full and associate members pay $3 per map at Wednesday city park events. Maps may be shared, but we recommend that everyone has one to get the most fun and best experience.
