Summary Profile
About Camp Qwanoes

Jump into the adventure and let friendship fill each day! What makes a week so special? An amazing staff dedicated to helping kids discover what real life is all about (not to mention the 75+ activities, All Star Games, Q-Town, Qwanoes Beach, Leadership Training, and the indescribable Qwanoes spirit!). Overnight camps are back in 2022! Plus retreats and our leadership programs.
Special needs: Not available

Religious affiliation:Christian
COVID-19 Response

Regardless of the COVID constraints – our heart and love for kids remains as strong as ever! And we can’t wait to live this out in 2021.
Since 1966 the heart of Qwanoes has always been on full display in the summer…it’s when camp is fully alive. It’s been 55 summers filled with wonder and adventure, love and caring. Sun-filled days where kids are accepted for who they are by staff who really care. A safe place where kids can be kids and friendships can form…all in this beautiful, west-coast.
We will run Day Camps again this summer and registration starts February 9, 2021 at 2:00 pm. We will add summer overnight camps if they become permitted (we’re still holding out hope!) and we would still run day camps.
If you are registered for a day camp, we will allow you to transfer to an overnight camp if they become possible and if there is space. We suggest that you choose a day camp based on the overnight schedule.
To make Qwanoes accessible to families in the lower mainland, we are offering a new Mainland Express option. Campers can experience the best of camp in one or two days.
We are extremely excited to announce the debut of SeaQuest - Qwanoes Kayak Adventure Camps!
Whether in person or online our Step-Out and CIT programs are moving ahead. If we have to offer them online we will include some IRL’s (‘In-Real-Life’). We expect our Leader-In-Training program to continue as normal (just as it did in summer 2020).

Insider Reviews & Perspectives

The Our Kids review of Camp Qwanoes

The setting is spectacular, and the range of activities extensive, added to each year. All the traditional camp activities are represented, augmented with many that most camps don’t have, though which campers are very happy to see. The skate park provides an example of how the camp approaches all of its offerings: nothing is done by half. All sparkles, and run by dedicated and enthusiastic staff. The values piece allows for a unique point of connection, and it informs the feeling of inclusion that campers have while on site. Vibrant, exciting, caring. There’s a good reason that campers have been drawn to this place for more than three decades.

Dear Parent,

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 4,000 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!

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 30 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!

Scott Bayley, Executive Director
