Our next camp will be in the cozy Scout cabin on Cypress Mountain just below Hollyburn Cross Country Ski Lodge. We have booked and paid for the the first weekend in February (1-3). The plan is for the Scouts to head in on Friday evening with the leaders to warm up the cabin for the Cubs the following day.
Parents are welcome. Please let us know if you are interested as there are some forms and administrative tasks to complete.
Here is some initial info.
The cabin is a three-story structure that will easily accommodate 30 people and still provide sufficient areas for activities. The kitchen has a propane stove and running cold water. There is an air-tight wood stove on the main level. A loft sleeps 30 on a vinyl floor, Cubs and Scouts must bring sleeping bags and sleeping pad. There is a leaders room on the main floor, leaders must also bring sleeping bags and sleeping pads. Lighting is provided by propane fueled mantle type lamps. Lavatories – consist of a two compartment pit toilet located south of the building
Getting there

Take the the Cypress Bowl Skiing exit from the Upper Levels Highway (Highway 1) in West Vancouver. Continue up the Cypress Park road and follow the signs to the Hollyburn cross-country ski area. Proceed to the far east end of the cross-country skiing parking lot where you will see a sign saying “Hiking trail to Hollyburn Lodgeâ€. The hike to the cabin from the meeting spot is just over 1 kilometre and takes 30 to 45 minutes.
