  • Reviews & Insider Perspectives

    The Our Kids review of InterVarsity Pioneer Pacific Camp

    our take

    Pioneer Camp Pacific is one of nine InterVarsity camps located across the country. The camping program was begun 1929, an expression of InterVarsity, an association of campus ministries intended to bring Christian values and awareness to young people, and support their spiritual and social growth. The camps were part of the initial vision, designed to create a unique opportunity to bring young people together around the unique challenges that a camp setting can provide. That remains perhaps more true today than ever. At camp they unplug, and turn their attention to the community they find there. The activities facilitate a greater understanding of campers’ talents and abilities, as well as the Christian values that inform the programming. The camp has grown over the years, adding new activities and facilities, all of it furthering the initial goals.

    Director's Message

    Greetings from Pioneer Pacific Camp!

    Each summer for over 60 years, Pioneer Pacific has been welcoming hundreds of kids to the beautiful Thetis Island. Our hope is that each camper who comes to Pioneer experiences the best summer they have ever had as they build friendships, have unique outdoor experiences, and interact with our quality summer staff.

    Whether during a one week camp, a camp with the entire family, or one of our multi-week Leadership Programs, the memories built at camp can last a lifetime. We look forward to seeing you this summer!



    Staff and Counsellors

    The Heart of Pioneer Pacific Camp: Our Incredible Staff Our staff are the backbone of everything we do. Our year-round team works tirelessly alongside InterVarsity Canada to ensure our camp thrives as a place of fun, growth, and connection. Each summer, we welcome a multicultural, dynamic team of staff who bring diverse perspectives and specialized training to camp. Our summer staff go through a rigorous interview process and receive on-site training to ensure they’re equipped to provide a safe, enriching experience for every camper. Many of them are former campers who have grown through our leadership programs. We're also supported by a carefully vetted large group of short-term volunteers who bring vital energy and expertise.

    Stories

    • Camp's 60th Anniversary

      Pioneer Pacific Camp turned 60 in summer 2015! We hosted an open house that included tours of the camp, boating, field games, wibitting, lots of food, and mingling with other camp community members. Towards the end, there was a worship service and our Executive Director, Brian Burtchett, spoke. It was a full afternoon of fun and celebration.

    • Grand Opening of the New Dining Hall!

      On June 27th, 2015 we celebrated the grand opening of our new Dining Hall! This beautiful new facility can hold up to 300 people in the main dining area. It is two levels, with the dining area, leaders room, and kitchen on the top floor, surrounded by a wrap-around porch, and the tuck shop, laundry and bathroom facilities, and a general, indoor recreation area in the basement. We celebrated with a ribbon cutting ceremony that was open to the camp community. Although the building still needs some finishing touches, it was a lovely way to share what we’ve accomplished with the people who made it possible.
