Kingston Multisport Trip
Thursday July 4 – Monday July 8, 2024
Leaders: Jim and Patti Blair and Sport Directors
It’s time to plan for summer!
Due to popular demand the Kingston Multisport Trip is being offered again in 2024. Kingston and the surrounding area offers a mulitude of opportunites for hiking, cycling, and paddling, so get ready for a fabulous ‘multi-sport’ time together!
Getting there: This is a self drive trip, allowing you to bring along your own cycling, paddling and hiking gear. If you want to carpool you will need to arrange this yourself. Many of the activities take place within an hours drive or less from Kingston. You will need to be able to navigate to various start locations so a travel buddy and/or a navigation system will be very helpful!!
Our Accommodation: We will be staying at Smith Residence on campus at Queen’s University. It is located one block from Lake Ontario and less than 2 kms from downtown Kingston. Our group will be staying in ‘2-bedroom units’, meaning that each unit has 2 separate bedrooms and a shared bathroom. Whether you are rooming with a friend, or with a spouse, each person has their own bedroom but will share an adjoining bathroom. No singles accommodation is offered. Each room has a mini fridge, free WIFI, flat screen TV, and air conditioning. On each floor, there are two common rooms for gathering. Dinner on the first night and breakfast every day will be served in a nearby university cafeteria called Leonard Hall, at which time we will organize our daily activities. See the link for Summer Accommodations Brochure (Smith Residence) on the registration page.
Activities: Please see the link for the List of Possible Activities on the registration page, to get a brief description of the various activities that may be offered.
Itinerary: Drive to Kingston on Thursday morning of July 4th, for check-in any time after 3:00 pm. Some Club activities will be offered “enroute” in the afternoon. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, a smorgasbord of hiking, cycling and paddling activities will be offered. You will sign up for various activities one day in advance, when we meet at mealtime. Dinners on Friday and Saturday will be on your own, allowing you to discover the many fine eateries in Kingston. Sunday dinner will be a group event at a local brewery. Monday morning, a final activity will be offered before driving home.
