EARTH ADVENTURES SUMMER DAY CAMP:

Participants of our Earth Adventures Summer Day Camp will enjoy our beautiful property located in Metchosin. The wilderness-based camp offers 98 acres of forest, ponds, trails, and meadows, perfect for exploring and playing games. Some unique features include a climbing tower and low ropes course designed for individual challenges and building teamwork skills. There is an archery range, a back pond for canoeing and a front pond for swimming - a favourite for cooling off in the hot sun.
