This website will give you a good start on what to expect.  I expect you to do more research and prepare the required resources.  Baldwin has an excellent map.

I have already booked the water taxi.  we just have to get there before it leaves at 7 am on July 4th.  The cost for the water taxi is $150.  We'll be setting up our own shuttle from the trail end back to Port Hardy.

The camping is $10 per night per person.  We have six spots at the NCT Hostel for the first night.  This is recommended for the early start.
