Camp Potlatch
Each summer, over 1,000 kids take advantage of an opportunity to attend one of Canada's best wilderness camp sites: Camp Potlatch.
Located on Howe Sound, British Columbia---and accessible only by boat---Camp Potlatch offers a unique outdoor camping experience, characterized by 133 acres of densely vegetated forest, and 1.5 km of beautiful waterfront.
Camp fees are on a sliding scale based on a family's ability to pay. For information on camp sessions and activities contact our Camp Registrar at 604.324.2267.
Our Programs:
Main Camp (ages 7 - 14):
Whether it is your child's first experience away from home, or she/he is a camp veteran, come and discover Camp Potlatch! Our professional staff will ensure that your child receives the very best that Camp Potlatch has to offer through caring, fun-filled, well-supervised activities. They'll have the chance to explore the Potlatch waters by canoe and kayak, and venture deep into the heart of the Potlatch Valley. Your kid(s) will also have the opportunity to try their hand at fishing, achieving new heights on the rock wall, sleeping under the stars, and testing their archery skills.

Adventurers will challenge themselves while learning the fundamentals of kayaking, rock climbing, ecology, hiking, and extended wilderness travel. Participants will experience two major out trips (by land and sea), and learn about the importance of teamwork while living in the natural environment.
Leadership Camp (ages 15 - 17):
Three weeks spent in our leadership camp will define the years to follow!
This co-ed program is for mature young adults who feel they have the capacity and drive to take on the challenges of personal and group achievement.
If you are looking for a place where you can master your kayaking, rock climbing, and backcountry hiking abilities while developing effective communication, teamwork, and leadership skills, then Camp Potlatch is definitely the place for you!
Participants will be given an opportunity to put their new outdoor leadership skills to the test while co-leading a camper cabin group on their own (2 days)!
Applicants must include two reference letters, including one from a school counsellor or teacher.
