Built by the Varsity Outdoor Club in 1969. The cost of flying in the hut was borne by the BC Parks Service. At that time, the VOC had a Spring ski trip into Garibaldi Lake. Originally VOC stayed at the Airways Cabin at the present Battleship Islands campsite, but when the Cabin was taken over by the BC Parks Service, the camp moved to the far end of the lake, in tents, until the Hut was built.
