The mountaineering camp runs for three weeks every summer. It is a self-guided camp, each week is managed by a volunteer leader. It is always a great week with like minded people sharing fun times and climbs in the mountains.
Each week starts with a helicopter flight into a remote Alpine location.

Gear tent to store all your gear and food
Shower tent and even a toilet.
All you need to bring is your personal gear, tent and a sense of adventure and stoke!

SKILLS:
If you have scrambling, mountaineering and climbing skills this camp is for you! If you feel you need more experience check out all the fantastic courses that are on offer on the section calendar.

DATES:
This year's dates are 4, 11, 18 and 25 July. The 25 July week will be an AMP week!

In his work life, he is a professional engineer and project manager who has found his dream job building renewable power systems and mountain huts for the ACC.

His presentation in his own words:
It has been a while since the ACC built a new hut. I will be giving the members an update on the building of the new Castle Hut and telling the story on how that finally came together.

I will also discuss the status of the Robson Pass Cabin and talk about the cabin design and our planned timelines for that to be complete and available for our members.

Time allowing, I will also talk about the hut projects that we have planned for the next 5 years.
