This hut-based camp will cater to members with minimal summer mountaineering experience or offer those looking for a refresher a chance to get back to the basics.  The First Summits Camp starts with two nights at Bow Hut, allowing access to the most popular peaks in the area such as Mounts St. Nicholas, Olive, Gordon, and Rhondda.  A traverse over to Peyto Hut for the last night opens up access to even more crowd-pleasing peaks like Mounts Baker and Thompson.
