Volunteers will be treated to a complimentary two nights' stay in Sun Peaks on Friday and Saturday evening.

Beyond trail building, the weekend is filled with other exciting events and activities, making it the perfect chance to recharge, celebrate, and experience the best of Sun Peaks. It’s a Thanksgiving to remember, with purpose, connection, and plenty of mountain fun.
