VOC Mountaineering Camp 2007

What is it?

It's an opportunity for VOCers of different abilities to get together and enjoy an area together. Although we will all camp in one spot, different groups will head out to different destinations during the day. The evenings will be filled with good food, good stories, and good laughter.

This is not an instructional trip (do not confuse it with Glacier school). Although there will likely be experienced members around who may be willing to help give some guidance to you.

When is it?

It will be held on Labour Day long weekend (September 1-3). It is possible that some people will drive/hike up on Friday August 31st.

Where is it?

The camp will be held at Wedgemount lake. This is located just North of Whistler, on the East side of the Sea to Sky highway. The relevant mapsheet is .../...

Who's in charge?

Bram is organizing stuff. See the member's list for contact information. Trip will likely be organised using a combination of the VOC forum, this wiki page, and a possible pre-trip meeting.

Is it for me/you?

This year's camp will hopefully have something for (almost) everyone. The destination is accessible enough for beginners but exotic enough to be interesting to the mountain hard-person.
