Reactivating Your Membership
Has it been less than a year since your membership lapsed (i.e., you were a member last year but haven’t paid this year’s dues)?
There are two ways to pay dues and late fee to reactivate your membership:
- You may pay your dues and late fee online via credit card at Late Pay Active Member Dues
(Associate members, use this link: Late Pay Associate Member Dues) - Send a check for current year dues plus $10.00 late fee to Roni Pavia, CHC Membership, 927 Arboretum Cir, Sagamore Hills, OH 44067.
See Dues and Fee Schedule.
Your membership will be reactivated as of the first Sunday following receipt of your dues and late fee. You’ll receive credit for the mileage you accumulated while your membership was in force.
Reinstating Your Membership
Has it been a year or more since your membership lapsed? If you would like to reinstate your membership in CHC, it is not necessary to complete the six-hike requirement, but you will need to fill out a Reinstatement Application and Liability Release, and pay a reinstatement fee along with current year dues. See Dues and Fee Schedule.
There are two ways to apply for reinstatement:
- You may fill out a reinstatement application online at CHC Online Reinstatement Application
- Or you may download a reinstatement application form to complete and return via US Mail at CHC Mail-in Reinstatement Application
There are two ways to pay current year dues and reinstatement fee:
- You may pay online via credit card using this link: Pay CHC Dues and Reinstatement Fee
- Or send a check for current year dues plus $20.00 reinstatement fee to Roni Pavia, CHC Membership, 927 Arboretum Cir, Sagamore Hills, OH 44067.
See Dues and Fee Schedule.
Membership will be reinstated as of the first Sunday following receipt of your forms and fees, unless another date is specified. You will receive credit for the mileage you accumulated prior to your lapse in membership (if it can be determined).
(PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS FORM TO JOIN CHC if you are not a past member. An invitation to join will be emailed to you within 7 days of the completion of your 6th hike.)
