InterVarsity Pioneer Camp Pacific

Located on a beautiful 76-acre ocean-front site on Thetis Island, campers have been spending a week or more with us every summer for more than 60 years. We serve children and youth from ages 7-18 on a site that includes two waterfront bays, a pool, and accommodations for over 200. Activities include sailing, canoeing, kayaking, waterskiing/wakeboarding, swimming in the pool, archery, crafts, music, the Wibit, and so many more. Age-appropriate Bible discussions and campfires provide safe places for discussions about faith and God. One of nine InterVarsity camps across Canada, we provide a fun-filled and safe environment where children and teens grow spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically.

The Our Kids review of InterVarsity Pioneer Camp Pacific

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.
