The camp board strives to make camp fun, enjoyable, and accessible for everyone. If you are a camper with special needs, let us know and we will try to accommodate you! Don’t let special needs keep you from having the time of your life this summer.
Feel free to contact your directors at director{at}allsaintscamp.ca to discuss how we can meet your needs.
If you are planning to be a camper this summer, or if you are sending campers, then this post has some important information for you!
Registration: Each camper needs to be registered for camp. You can do this by clicking on the “Campers! Apply Here!” link at the right of the screen. If you are unable to register in this format, please email the camp director at director@allsaintscamp.ca .
Registration dates: If you want to save a bit of money, why not help your camp planners by letting us know early that you are coming? If you register by May 31, 2014, you will receive a $30 discount on the cost of camp!
Camp Fees: The cost of camp this year is $350, but if you register by May 31, 2014, it is $320. If you want to send multiple children to camp and the total cost is a burden, please let us know and we will do our best to help you find a way to send your kids to camp. Again, the sooner you let us know, the better.
See you soon!
We are excited to announce that
plans for Camp 2014 are well under way!
This summer, camp will run from
July 8-13 (Tuesday to Sunday).
We will be returning to
Seven Springs Ranch
in Parksville, BC (north of Nanaimo).
We can’t wait to see you there!
Hello, everybody! It’s that time of year again… when all those interested in the camp get together to talk about how last year went and how we’re going to run the camp next year. In other words, the camp AGM (annual general meeting) is being held tomorrow at 7:00pm at St. John of Shanghai Orthodox Church (immediately after Vespers, which is at 6pm).
If you are at all interested in the camp and it’s future, you are strongly encouraged to come!
Hello again, everybody!
Well, I’ve had a few responses so far to my call for camp photos. It’s an interesting selection! Revealing, perhaps, about what was most memorable for you at camp this year?
Here’s my favourite of the photos submitted so far… I had a lot of fun walking everyone through the whole of the Gospel story this year, starting with the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry and ending at Pentecost. I think we all enjoyed going through the stories – at least I had quite a few come up to me and say that they liked them… However, every preacher and storyteller needs a picture like the one which follows to remind him of the importance of brevity! 🙂
I also received a some really beautiful shots… My two favourites are this one of some of the campers kayaking on the camp pond…
…and this one of the hike that the teens went on with Fr. Kaleeg and Andrew and Sasha:
This second picture reminds me that there are aspects of our camp that I don’t get to experience, of course, and that I’d love to hear from you campers and staff what your experience of camp was like. If you e-mail your favourite stories of camp to me at frjustin{at}allsaintscamp{dot}ca (replace the “{at}” and “{dot}” with “@” and “.”, of course!), I’d love to share some of the best ones with everybody right here on the camp website!
The last – but not the least! – thing that our first photo submissions reveal about what’s important to us about camp is simply the joy of all of us being together. Here’s one of our traditional everybody-in-their-camp-shirts-standing-together-on-the-front-steps-at-the-end-of-camp photos:
Good memories!
Keep the photos coming – and hopefully some fun stories too! Remember, if you want to share your best photos for use here on the site, you can do so simply by clicking on the link or the button below!

Many, many thanks are due to all who helped pull things together so wonderfully – and especially to all those who came to the rescue of camp at the last minute. Through all of your hard work, prayers, and perseverance, camp happened! And, last but not least, many thanks are also due to all of you campers and camper-parents. Without you, there would be no camp – and no reason to have camp, for that matter!
So, until next year… which, if all goes according to plan, will happen July 8-13, if you’re wondering.
But, before we leave… I’d like to spend a little time here focussing on what happened at camp this year. It was our tenth anniversary, after all! Time for a little reflection. And here I need your help to make this reflective series of posts come to life…
Every year at camp there are lots of pictures taken – but usually not all that many taken by me. I’ve created an upload space where you can upload your pictures, and I’m going to ask for your best shots of various people, places, and events that showcase what happened this year at camp. So, you provide the photographs and I’ll tell the stories!
We’ll start with the trip to camp. Here’s one of my favourite shots of our ferry ride over:
Now you share some of yours! Use the link or the buttons below to submit them and I’ll feature the best ones in my next post.
