- Camping
- A variety of camping alternatives
are available within a reasonable commute of the village. - Co-organizer Ian McArthur
has offered to provide low budget camping arrangements behind his Bed
& Breakfast in Whitecroft, about 5+ minutes outside of Sun Peaks
Village. Ian writes: “I’ve consulted with Sun
Peaks Resort Corporation and they are fine with pilots camping out in
the yard. If sufficient pilots show interest, we could arrange for a
porta-poti and split the cost amongst the campers. There will
be power, and water available. I have two camper outlets as well as
a couple of 110V GFI outlets. There’s likely room for about 10 or
12 small campsites on the lot. I have 1.5 Acres to the west of the house
that has no power or water, but has lots of room.”
