  • Overview

    Here's what makes Camp Homewood stand out

    Camp Homewood has been serving children from BC’s coast since 1944. Our Mission is to share the Gospel of Christ through caring relationships and quality programs, using God’s creation. Today, campers come from across North America to have the best week of their lives at Sailing, Harbour, Woodsman, and Ranch Camps. We also offer 3 weeks of Family camp. Fun, great food, evening firesides with skits, singing and a speaker, plus tons of activities are common to all of our programs. Activities vary depending on the camp and include sailing, horse riding, archery, riflery, tubing, canoeing, paddle boarding, kayaking, hiking, swimming, crafts, wide games, orienteering, and more!

    Programs and Sessions Calendar

    Homewood's sailing camps are unique in Canada. Youth spend 5-6 days at sea learning to work as a team to sail a 27' Catalina sailboat. Trips typically include 4 boats with a crew of 5 campers per boat plus a certified skipper and a bosun. The day begins with a hot breakfast before heading off to explore the coast. While sailing to your next destination, you may see dolphins, eagles, seals, whales, or other wildlife. Enjoy lunch on board, cool off by swinging from the mast and swimming in the ocean, practice knots, learn, laugh, and take a turn at the helm. At the end of the day, enjoy a hot supper on another remote island. Hike to a waterfall or lake, play games, listen to your speaker share about God, and if dry, sleep under the stars.

  • Reviews & Insider Perspectives

    The Our Kids review of Camp Homewood

    our take

    At its core, Christianity is about how we act toward others, expressed best in Jesus’ Golden Rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” At Camp Homewood, those words are put into action in its programming, focus on caring relationships, and in how kids come away from camp more fully equipped to be kinder and loving toward others.
    Alf and Margaret Bayne founded the camp rooted in ministry. Situated on Heriot Bay and overlooking the water, Homewood is a classic summer camp experience that immerses them in “The Creator’s Handiwork.” Today, ministry remains a strong focus, with counsellors expected to round up their own funding. That exemplifies the devotion integral to Camp Homewood. From Rivendell (the camp’s main lodge) outward, Homewood instills kids with a deeper understanding of Creation and the work of the Holy Spirit in their lives.

    Director's Message

    I am looking forward to welcoming your child (or your entire family!) to camp this summer.  We have been working hard since camp ended last August to prepare a very special experience for each of our campers this year.  Our Summer Team is loaded with eager young people who are ready to serve and grow, our facility is in top condition, and our program is packed with fun and adventure!  I know you will enjoy every minute of camp, and that you will build friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.  See you soon!


    Staff and Counsellors

    Homewood has a Summer Team of 80-100 volunteers. All are carefully selected and trained. Our skippers are adults who are certified to operate sailboats in protected waters. Head Skippers have years of experience on the water. They will safely guide your child through the world famous waters of the Discovery Islands. Our bosuns are carefully selected for their ability to relate to and lead youth. They help make every day fun and memorable.
