Rain date: October 15, 2023
Are you a seasoned disc golfer? Or have you been interested, but not known where to start? Join TVOP Volunteer Kay and local queer semi-pro JP for a round to hone your game or develop new skills. No experience or discs needed! Free discs will be provided for attendees (to keep!) thanks to our friends at Prodigy Disc, and JP will be available to help give pointers. Come throw your cares away for a while!
This adventure is open to folks of all ages - we ask folks under the age of 18 to please register yourself and an adult to accompany you. If you require a service dog to attend, please let us know and we’ll collaborate with you on how to keep you both comfortable and hydrated on the hike.

Our sliding scale is meant to make our trips and events more accessible for those who have financial barriers. Paying a higher amount allows us to provide more opportunities to others. Paying a smaller amount is recommended for those who would not otherwise be able to afford the estimated value. Please choose an amount that you will be able to pay, but will not hinder your ability to afford food, housing, etc. By paying as much as you can, we are able to serve more of our community members.
Our sliding scale recommendation:
- Low: Yearly income $30,000 or under, struggles to meet basic needs
- Mid (pays estimated value): Yearly income $40,000-$75,000, some expendable income
- High: Yearly income $80,000-$100,000, comfortable, never struggle with basic needs

Information for our land acknowledgment was gathered from nativeland.ca, which provides an estimate of original indigenous land occupation, but does not take into account migratory patterns or movement of the many surrounding communities. We recognize the historical complexity of indigenous movement across the land, and honor with gratitude the many, many surviving native nations whose land we benefit from in our work to diversify the outdoors.
