There are many different types of sleepaway camps to choose from, each with its own unique focus or theme. ⁠Here are some of our favourites: ⁠
⁠
Camp Qwanoes ( @qwanoes ) located on 55 acres of beautiful waterfront near Crofton on Vancouver Island, is a high-adventure Christian camp offers overnight summer programs for kids aged 8–18. Days are filled with sun, laughter, great food, & nonstop action, with 75+ activities to choose from — including wakeboarding, archery, mountain boarding, kayaking, and the iconic Sky-Scraper.⁠
⁠
Fireside Adventures ( @myfiresideadventures ) offers powerful overnight outdoor experiences that help kids grow into confident, grounded, and resilient humans. Set in the natural beauty of Sechelt, BC, these camps invite kids to step away from screens and daily pressures and reconnect — with nature, others, and  themselves. If you have teens, check out their global adventures!⁠
⁠
St. Michaels University School ( @yoursmus ) camps are hosted on the school’s stunning Victoria, BC campus. Built around the idea to learn, discover, and create, these immersive programs give teens the chance to grow their skills, explore new interests, and build friendships with campers from around the world. Choose from enriching academic camps like Leadership, Engineering, and Game Development, or high-performance sports camps.⁠

⁠Camp Grafton ( @camp_grafton ) is nestled on Shuswap Lake, BC, and offers campers aged 6-16 a variety of unforgettable overnight summer experiences rooted in friendship and outdoor adventure. This welcoming camp offers kids the chance to unplug, build confidence, and grow through games, nature exploration, team challenges, and meaningful campfire conversations.⁠

Camp Fircom ( @campfircom ) on Gambier Island in BC, celebrates the outdoors and an outdoor lifestyle! Campers spend their days unplugged from screens and immersed in fresh air, exploring forest trails, swimming in the Salish Sea, trying new activities like kayaking or low-ropes challenges, and making lifelong friendships around the campfire.⁠
