The ACC Toronto Section annual week-long summer Mountaineering Camp is the key activity in the Mountaineering calendar. The Mountaineering Camp is usually held in Western Canada with either hike-in or helicopter access to an ACC hut or a tent-based accommodation for between 12 to 20 participants, depending upon location in the mountains.

Each year, the Toronto Section hosts two film festivals during “shoulder season” between the rock climbing and snow/ice activities. In March we host the world tour of The Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival. In October we host the Vancouver International Film Festival. Both festivals are a great highlight of outdoor adventure taking you to all corners of the globe.
