Situated on 55 acres of magnificent scenic waterfront property on Vancouver Island between Victoria and Nanaimo, Qwanoes is a fully-accredited member of the BC Camping Association and Christian Camping International-Canada. As a Christian camp, we take principles of the Bible and make them relevant to everyday life.

Qwanoes welcomes campers from all backgrounds and beliefs, seeking to treat each one with the same love, care and respect. As a Christian camp, we seek Christian staff who love children and youth and share our beliefs, including that we are to love everyone equally.

From over 75 activities to quality staff, we are committed to providing the best experience to our guests...and we would love to welcome you here!

“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” –Jesus (John 10:10)
