Work Party Weekend
April 30 - May 2 | All ages!
Please join us for the day or the whole weekend to help us get camp ready for summer. Everyone is welcome to volunteer on a variety of projects, from mowing, cleaning, painting, fixing, digging, scrubbing, chopping, building, planting, tidying up, and more. Wear your grubby clothes and if you’d like to stay over Saturday night to continue helping on Sunday, bring your sleeping bag and pillow. On Saturday evening, we will have a campfire, and on Sunday morning we will have an informal church service, followed by lunch and more work. For those coming from far away, you’re welcome to come Friday evening.

Peaks and Palettes is a new program for adults interested in adventure and creativity. We are still working on the details for this epic week-long program for you and will provide more details soon.
Imagine hiking around Bowen to paint en plein air with like-minded individuals who will support each other in their creative endeavours.
Or if you prefer adventure with more intensity, imagine kayaking part of Bowen Island, heading to Squamish to mountain bike, or going on an overnight trip on the North Shore.

You are welcome to participate in every activity or to make your own plan and enjoy the great food and company. Childcare is provided for a portion of each day, giving parents time to do something on their own. Family camp is a wonderful way to share the joy of camp and Christian Science with your family and friends. Give us a call if you’re interested in learning more!
Arrive Monday before dinner, depart Saturday after breakfast.
