For teens who have completed grades 8 to 11 (Ages 13-17)

Polaris Adventure is a 6-day, 5-night program designed to invite participants to step up and become confident leaders amongst their peers. By overcoming personal challenges together in a dynamic group led by supportive staff, Polaris campers will have the opportunity to recognize their own potential and leave camp feeling capable and ready for the next adventure!

Polaris is the exciting next evolution of our foundational Kids Camp program. This co-ed program gives teens the opportunity to take on a more active role in their time at camp. Polaris youth will split their time between taking part in classic camp activities at Fircom and embarking on paddling or hiking out-trips that expand their knowledge of Gambier Island and the Howe Sound, as well as their wilderness and camping know-how.
