Full English immersion environment
English language and Canadian cultural immersion are essential parts of the camp. All campers are required to communicate in English at all times. Our transformational learning programs focus on communicative English language and functional skills for a variety of situations. Campers can learn through real life practice, through their daily routines and their lessons. By the end of our camp, all participants will feel their level of accuracy and fluency have improved tremendously.
Active, high-paced learning program
The programs we designed aim to do more than other curricula by developing inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who are motivated to succeed. We encourage students of all ages to think critically and challenge assumptions.
We want to assist students to achieve both their personal and academic goals. We will encourage them, engage them and challenge them.
Unique outdoor and art experience
Being located at the base of Mount Baldy with our own direct access to Shawnigan Lake, allows us to provide an adventurous and inspirational outdoor education program. This program will encourage campers to develop an appreciation for nature and a love for the outdoors. Campers will learn the basic skills of canoeing, kayaking and sailing. Along with these activities we will also include teaching risk management, planning, survival skills, shelter building, fire building, trail building, tree care and other essential outdoor skills. As well, we offer Art programs for students who would like to expand their creative experiences in the visual arts. We promote imagination, creativity and production.
Safe and caring campus
Our inspirational campus is located in a peaceful and safe community located in the Cowichan Valley. Our lakeside dormitories provide a warm and comfortable family atmosphere for all the campers. Our campus is very safe and secure and is located in a remote area. We have school security cameras to ensure the safety of our students.
