SUN PEAKS WINTER ACTIVITIES FIELD GUIDE
Moonlit Snowshoe and Campfire Feast Above Sun Peaks

Moonlit Snowshoe and Campfire Feast Above Sun Peaks.
The Snowshoe Canadian Campfire Cookout pares winter to its essentials: a guided 2‑kilometre trek through quiet, snow‑laden forest trails, followed by a hearthside meal of roasted smokies, hot apple cider and maple s’mores while the village lights glimmer below. The rhythm is simple—walk, warm, eat, and return—against the cold, clear backdrop of Sun Peaks on a winter evening.

What the day feels like
How the evening unfolds
You start with a guided snowshoe—an unhurried 2‑kilometre route through snowbound trees—then gather around a roaring campfire at a sheltered winter camp to eat and warm up. The meal is communal and informal: roasted smokies, hot apple cider and maple s’mores. After lingering at the fire, the group walks back, taking in broad views of the village lights under the stars before the short conclusion of the evening.
