Exploring one of Vancouver Island’s best kept secrets: Mt. Cain

Return to trip leading
A decade ago, I spent two summers as a camp counsellor. I took groups of teenage girls on four-day camping and hiking trips. I became very good at planning meals for 10, packing tents into tiny bags and scaring away rabid squirrels. (That’s another story…) And leading trips! I also got pretty good a leading trips. Since…
