Backcountry Camping
Camp Summit is pleased to offer a variety of backcountry camping and multi-day hiking trips that will take you to some of the most breathtaking sights British Columbia has to offer!
Adventure Challenge
Campers apart of our Adventure Challenge program will embark upon an amazing two-to-four night overnight trip, hiking popular trails such as Elfin Lake, Joffre Lake and Garibaldi Lake. Under the direction and supervision of our trained Trip Guides, our campers are encouraged to challenge themselves and each other to accomplish goals such as preparing a meal over a fire, setting up a tent/tarp, navigating a trail system and practicing ‘leave no trace’ camping skills.
