Guided Courses

The BCMC offers two types of courses & trips:

We strongly recommend that you check the certifications and qualifications of anyone teaching a course, whether volunteer or professional.

Trip Safety

Mountaineering, skiing, climbing and all of the activities we love to do in the mountains are inherently risky activities. To help stay safe in the mountains we have put together a guide of useful resources for trip planning and participation.

See our Safety Guide
Mentorship

The BCMC offers a winter and summer mentorship program to help build critical skills in the mountains with a trusted BCMC member. If you are new to the world of mountains, this is a great way to learn safety, decision making and mountain skills to carry you forward through your journey.
