The Main Field
The heart of camp - the main field is a central gathering place. Perfect for games, large group activities, and lounging in the sun. The main field is located in front of Jubilee Hall and looks onto the Howe Sound and the North Shore mountains. The large, flat field works great for large groups (up to 200 people). Power cords can be run out from Jubilee Hall for sound systems.
The Dining Hall Field
The Dining Hall Field is across the stream from the Main Field. The tall trees on the east and west sides of the field offer soothing afternoon shade which can be a blessing on a hot summer day. The close proximity to the Dining Hall is perfect for activities scheduled right before or after meals.
Jubilee Hall
Jubilee Hall is a heritage building erected in 1935 and it was was completely renovated in 2010. It has two large rooms making it the perfect spot for creating separate programming options for different age/activity groups. A huge stone fireplace gives this building a rustic log-cabin charm. The lower level of the building houses the shower/washroom blocks and our first aid room.
Dining Hall
The Dining Hall was built in 2013 with beautiful wood beam ceiling, skylights, and wrap around windows for plenty of natural light and gorgeous views of the woods and ocean. The Dining Hall can hold 200 people for a seated dinner. Food is served family style for most groups. This space is also perfect for meetings, art & crafts, workshops, and more.
The Breezeway
Attached to the back end of the Dining Hall, the Breezeway is a large undercover space which serves as a perfect spot for breakout groups, presentations, dancing, and campfires! The Breezeway features a large outdoor fireplace and has plenty of room to set up different spaces for work and play.
The Sanctuary
Winding down a short narrow path through the woods guests will find themselves entering our outdoor sanctuary. Multipurpose wooden benches (designed and built by UBC architecture students) ground this serene wooded clearing. Perfect for workshops, breakout groups, and small presentations outdoors.
The Benches
Overlooking the Howe Sound, tucked at the end of a short path, is a beautiful terraced bluff called simply, The Benches. This small spot suits groups of 50 people or less. This is also an idyllic spot to have a quiet meeting away from the bustle of central camp.
The Pavilion
Overlooking Canoe Cove and the waters of Halkett Bay, the open air Pavilion was built in 2013. This 2,800 sq ft Pavilion has gorgeous cedar wood interiors with open views on all sides. This is the perfect spot for rainy day activities, and can accommodate large groups (up to 150 people). The grassy promontory next to the Pavilion looks over Halkett bay and Canoe Cove.
