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!

Youll notice the difference the moment you arrivea 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 3700 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 childrens 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 childs life. Campers who arrive at camp just looking for fun will discover far morelike 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!

OVER 175 YEARS OF LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE YOU CAN TRUST.

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 several 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.
