British Columbia's residential camps sit on Vancouver Island, offering a mix of wilderness and coastal-style activity. Days combine water activities and swimming with rock climbing, mountain biking, orienteering, ropes courses and wilderness-survival skills, alongside studio-based options such as ceramics, drama, dance and photography. Team sports add basketball, field hockey, ice hockey and golf, with leadership development and public speaking built into the wider program.
