Boys Camp
Boy’s camp is all about spending time with a group of guys who are interested in having fun, spending time outdoors, and learning more about God. We play games, develop skills, and challenge and encourage each other to try new things in an incredibly supportive environment. Most of the activities are done “family style” - meaning that everyone in Boys camp, including the camp director and practitioner, are present and participating in each activity.
This year, we will be running our girls camp programs and boys camp programs simultaneously. The girls and boys programs will operate independently of one another for the majority of activities, and will have the opportunity to join together for camp wide games and other select activities.
Each youth session lasts two weeks and includes a variety of camp activities, delicious meals, camp duties, daily lesson study, Sunday School, and Wednesday testimony meetings. It’s the best two weeks and we can hardly wait!
Junior Boys
Ages 8 - 13 | July 3 - July 16
I learned that I never have to be scared because God is always with me and He would never want anything bad to happen to me.
Junior Boys is a fun-filled session for campers who want to do a little bit of everything in a spiritually uplifting atmosphere. Junior campers go hiking, swimming, canoeing, and play awesome games. Junior Boys participate in daily Lesson study, a Wednesday night testimony meetings, and Sunday School class at Camp.
This session allows campers to focus on an area of interest (boating, climbing, archery, etc) throughout the session while still having the opportunity to try everything at least once. During this session campers will take a one-night overnight trip on the island near our property - a highlight for many campers. They learn to tie knots to set up a tarp, and eat food cooked over a camp stove.
Campers may come for the first week of session 2 though we encourage the full two weeks to get the most out of the program!
Senior Boys
Ages 13 - 17 | July 18 - July 31
In addition to the many activities that Juniors know and love, Senior campers have the opportunity to learn to be supportive of one another while trying out the ropes course, going rock climbing, paddling Camp’s Big Red Canoe, and playing complex and strategic camp-wide games.
While these activities bring in the fun, our focus is always in helping campers grow in new bounds– spiritually, mentally and physically. Senior campers learn responsibility and leadership skills based on spiritual values, creativity and teamwork. Senior campers take a 3-4 day out trip to one of the many beautiful areas surrounding Howe Sound, Whistler, or Pemberton. The trip can include hiking, a boating adventure, mountain biking, surfing, horseback riding, ziplining, or some other exciting multi-day trip off island.
Senior skills week
Ages 13 - 17 | August 1 - 7
We had such positive feedback from our 2025 campers and staff, that we're going to offer the choice between Mountain Biking and Rock Climbing/ Canyoneering again for 2026!
Rock Climbers can expect to climb on Bowen Island and in Squamish. Skill development will include climbing technique, belaying, mock leads, rappelling, and more. Canyoneering will be a professionally guided activity involving descending and rappelling down a slot creek in Britannia, BC.
Mountain Bikers can expect to ride on Bowen Island, the North Shore, and Squamish - considering by many to be the best riding location in the world. Riders will develop skills at their own pace, ride a variety of terrain, and learn basic maintenance skills.
