Seattle MAC Summer Trip! - Squamish

Each year, MAC goes on a 10-day long car camping, rock/alpine/glacier climbing, hiking, backpacking, and car camping extravaganza that is our biggest trip. It serves as a capstone to the year and provides everyone an opportunity to enjoy the community and skills they've developed over the year. Everyone is welcome to join and certain activities have prerequisites, see leader's notes for details.

We will be camping at the Klahanie Campground group sites (36583 Darrell Bay Rd, Squamish, BC V8B 0A6, Canada) from July 8th-July 18th. 

If you are carpooling in the Mountaineer's van we will meet at the program center at 10am on July 8th. We will plan on getting to the campground around 3-5pm depending on stops and how long the border crossing takes.

If you are carpooling aside from the van, please coordinate with your driver on when and where to meet.
