In small groups led by enthusiastic instructors, we focus on skills and leadership development through outdoor adventures. We are an outdoor school that runs a camp, so staying true to our nature means our camp is a place for growth and development in a fun and engaging atmosphere.

Multi-Destination Information
We acknowledge that we are learning and working on the beautiful Traditional Territory of the Ta'an Kwäch'än Council and the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and are grateful for this opportunity.
Variety is the spice of life and this holds true for summer camp, too! Our weekly rotation is built to match camper skills with appropriate terrain/bodies of water. Parents are responsible for dropping off campers at the destination each day.
