‘‘ OVER 175 COMBINED YEARS OF LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE YOU CAN TRUST. Dear Parent,

Where is Qwanoes? On the West Coast of Canada in the heart of the Gulf Islands on the Pacific Ocean.

At the edge of Maple Mountain, nestled in a forest... where ADVENTURE is around every corner, With staff from around the world, across Canada and right next door.

Are you ready? Something amazing awaits.

So come on >>>

let the adventures begin!

’’

The heart of Qwanoes is a heart for kids.

And we would love to welcome your child to the highlight of their year!

You’ll notice the difference the moment you arrive—a special atmosphere of fun and caring sparked by an enthusiastic staff team. Our tradition of excellence continues as this summer we hope to welcome over 4000 campers of widely varied backgrounds.

Qwanoes is a youth-oriented, high-adventure, non-profit Christian camp situated on 55 acres of magnificent scenic waterfront property on Vancouver Island. We are committed to standards of the highest quality and are constantly striving to improve our service. The health and safety of your child is of highest priority!

Jay (& Gretta) Kennedy Assistant Director

Russ (& Michelle) Smith

Returning campers will discover new activities, new programs... and all-new adventures. No summer is ever the same at Qwanoes! We are committed to providing you the greatest value.

Qwanoes children’s and youth camps have grown for the past 25 summers, and yet we still offer one of the lowest camper-to-staff ratios.

As a Christian camp, we incorporate biblical principles into all programs. Qwanoes is an ideal setting for life-changing, fun-filled adventure and a wise investment in your child’s life.

Campers who arrive at camp just looking for fun will discover far more—like new-found friends, newly acquired skills, real love, and a caring environment.

Our goal is that your child will have not just the greatest week of their life, but an unforgettable week that will change their life forever!

Our Summer Staff Sets Qwanoes Apart!

These predominantly young adults and college students are specifically selected for their evangelical faith, maturity, and aptitude for developing healthy relationships with kids.

Their love for God, people, and life make them superb role models. Our camper/counselor ratio averages 5 to 1 and most cabins have both a senior and junior counselor. The camper/ staff ratio is a low 2 to 1.

Every year we seek the best! Our extensive search brings staff from across Canada, throughout our home province, and a dozen other countries. Staff are carefully screened using resumes, applications, references, interviews, and criminal record checks. They receive thorough training, with the vast majority of staff staying all summer allowing us to provide consistent quality all summer-long.
