Located in the beautiful Fraser Canyon, within two hours drive of almost anywhere in the Lower Mainland, Camp Squeah offers a place to take refuge from that which occupies you day in and day out. Our staff are waiting to work with you and your group on your retreat, outdoor education experience or summer camp experience.Our Mission Statement:
In response to God who loves and calls us, Camp Squeah provides a place of refuge in a natural setting where people of all ages can build relationships, grow and be nurtured.
Camp Squeah is a Children’s Summer Camp:
For over 50 years Camp Squeah has served BC’s children and families by providing loving, enriching and exiting summer camp programs. Families, young children, teenagers and young adults all have opportunities to experience the rich community and life-changing experience in BC’s beautiful mountain wilderness. We believe every young person should have the opportunity to experience camping in God's awe-inspiring wilderness. We share with campers, through a Christian perspective, how camp can provide a space for children to discover themselves in a safe and loving environment and that this helps them become confident, mature and fun loving people.
Camp Squeah is a beautiful Retreat Centre:
Nestled in the forest, in the Fraser Canyon, this is a place to get away from the hurries and worries of every day. Spend a tranquil afternoon in the shade of the towering trees. Feel the fresh mountain air on your face. The Squeah Retreat Centre is the perfect setting for families, small groups or larger corporate retreats. This is a place to take refuge from that which occupies you day in and day out. A place to rest, play, learn and renew. Large enough for a conference or retreat for up to 200 people, with facilities suitable for an intimate group of less than 40 as well, we can provide accommodation, meals, activities and meeting space appropriate to many retreat needs.
Camp Squeah is home to a Christian Discipleship program:
SEED is a discipleship program, for young adults, focusing on personal mentoring using the life-changing relational space of a Christian camp. Interns become a small student community within the larger family of staff at Camp Squeah, from September through April. SEED helps students come alive to their need for God and how to share this journey with others seeking growth. They receive the gift of time to reflect and refocus and gain leadership experience by running camp programs.
Camp Squeah is an Outdoor Education Facility:
Tell me and I will forget; Show me and I may remember; Involve me and I will understand.
We value outdoor education which connects physical activity with personal and social development opportunities. We believe that outdoors is the ideal setting for education to encourage the building of positive relationships between individuals, with the environment, and with oneself. We provide memorable experiences for students delivered by our quality staff. Whether as a day trip, or a multi-night retreat, Camp Squeah offers high quality outdoor education activities and an environment that caters to natural learning in a natural setting. We have roughly 20 different activities to choose from and over 10 kilometres of trails to explore in the beautiful Dogwood Valley region of the Fraser Canyon.
