==VOC huts==

The VOC currently maintains four huts :

* [[Brew Hut]] just south of Mt Brew, between Brandywine Creek and Roe Creek.
* [[Harrison Hut]] near Meager Hotsprings, west of Pemberton.
* [[Brian Waddington Hut]] in Phelix Creek (Birkenhead Park) area.
* [[Burton Hut]] in Sphinx Bay on Garibaldi Lake, Garibaldi Provincial Park.

Check out the [[VOC hut maintenance]] page for info on past and ongoing projects.

Also check the [[lost and found]] page for gear left behind in and around the VOC huts.

There is a long [[history of VOC huts]] dating back to the late 1910s when the first cabin was built on Hollyburn Mountain.

===Reservations, and fees for usage===

{{main|VOC hut registration}}

VOC huts are open to all non-mechanized, non-commercial groups. '''There is no reservation system, however all groups are encouraged to register on the [[VOC hut registration]] page'''.  This is simply to reduce the possibility of large groups running into each other at a small hut and does not give any group priority to use the hut.  

VOC huts, '''except for the Sphinx (Burton) Hut''' are free to current, membership-paying VOC members. As of summer 2011, parking in Provincial Parks is free, but staying overnight costs you $10 per person per night.  Therefore if you stay at the Sphinx (Burton) Hut, you must pay $10 per person per night to BC Parks, even though you might be a VOC Member.  You can pay the Parks fee online. 

VOC Alumni and other users should pay '''$5/person/night''' to VOC for hut maintenance to the blue box (No blue box at Sphinx) or send to:

{{VOC address}}

Commercial users should contact the VOC before using the huts.

===About Non-Motorized Recreation===

It's no secret that there have been issues regarding the coexistence of motorized (generally snowmobiles) and "self-propelled" recreation (generally skiers and snowshoers) throughout the sea-to-sky corridor.  In order to try and combat the flood of misinformation surrounding the topic the VOC is making an attempt to organize information regarding the areas surrounding our huts.  See the [[Winter recreation zoning near VOC huts]] page for details.
