Summer Family Adventures with Canadian Mountain Holidays
Canadian Mountain Holidays may be best known for their amazing heli-skiing adventures — but did you know they offer extraordinary heli-hiking experiences as well?
CMH’s Director of Summer Adventures, Marty von Neudegg, recently wrote about some of CMH’s summer highlights:
“CMH’s Family Adventures brighten many years of family get-togethers with shining memories of Heli-Hiking in one of North America’s last true wildernesses, the Colombia Mountains, jewels of Canada’s Rocky Mountain West, a festival of dramatic peaks, infinitely blue skies, acrobatic glaciers, and serene, flower-carpeted meadows (not to mention kid-pleasing helicopters, zooming zip lines, ropes courses, and our famously amazing natural outdoor climbing walls, or Via Ferratas).
“Young Robson D. is a typical Family Adventure fan. “I loved meeting the other kids and making new friends,” he emailed us recently. “Having so many helicopter rides each day was amazing. The hiking was beautiful and fun.” And Marika P. spoke for many of our happy kids when she wrote that it was “awesome to be somewhere with my mom for three days where her cellphone wasn’t ringing.”
“CMH’s guides love to share our mountains’ magic with Family Adventurers. And the special leaders who explore the heights with us — Facilitators of Fun we call them — are just as enchanted as our kids and adults. Their mountain-themed activities (making ice cream from snow, creating photo albums and mountain alphabets, reading explorers’ memoirs where they happened, are designed to be fun, illuminating, and authentic).
“Families can choose to hike together or divide into adult groups and kid groups. Back at the lodge after a day of Heli-Hiking, our Family Adventure leaders keep the kids engaged with games and crafts so parents can relax.
“Lasting friendships are made, lives are enriched, imaginations are sparked, and families are bonded.
“And: No young person comes away from a Family Adventure thinking there’s no true wilderness left in the world, and no young person ends up thinking that wilderness isn’t heart-stirringly beautiful, endlessly intriguing, and very, very worth preserving.
“So we invite you to check out Canadian Mountain Holidays, email us at info@cmhinc.com, or phone us at 800-661-0252 to learn more about our three night Family Adventures based from Bobbie Burns Lodge (July 24-27 and August 8-11) and the Bugaboos Lodge (July 27-30 and August 11-14).
