2026 Lower Tutshi Weekend

YCKC is heading to the Lower Tutshi Saturday (June 13). The club will be based out of the Lower Tutshi Campground on the lower section of the Tutshi River, so feel free to camp out with us! This river is mostly class II (II+) with the top section being easily walked and lapped from the campground.

We are planning on breaking into groups and working on skills on the campsite section in the morning and afternoon and we will have lunch at the campsite. The day will conclude with a club BBQ and campfire. If you can, bring an appy, dessert or a group game. Please register below so we can have enough food and volunteers for the trip.
