Summer Camp Sponsorships

NOTICE:  Oceanview Community Church will not be offering any Camp Scholarships in 2020.    

 

We will be back for January of 2021!  We are grateful to God for supplying incredible funding in the past for us to offer these scholarships to hundreds of kids from the community of Ladysmith.   It is our hope that you have been inspired by a great experience at Camp Qwanoes, Camp Imadene or Pioneer Pacific Camp to the point that you are able to raise the funds yourself and attend this summer.   We are pushing the “pause button” for this year to refill our depleted funds, pray for new donors, recruit a team of people to administrate the program and come up with new guidelines.   

 

We thank you for your understanding.

Welcome


We're so glad that you are here! We at Oceanview Community church are committed to serving our community in many different ways. Being able to provide this opportunity to send children to camp is an honour for us. On this page you will find detailed information regarding the Summer Camps Sponsorships offered by Oceanview Community Church.

SUMMER CAMPS

Camp Qwanoes summer camps are beginning to fill! Apply now for financial assistance so that you can register for camps.


Oceanview Community Church is a supporting church of Camp Qwanoes.

It's our camp!


Qwanoes is a youth-focused high adventure Christian residential camp that exists to love kids to life like no other. Founded in 1966, Qwanoes is an ideal place for fun-filled, life-changing experiences. 


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.


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!


Fun Note: Camp Qwanoes has an Open House on June 8th. This is an amazing opportunity to explore the camp and what it has to offer. You can go on rides and two meals are provided!

Sponsorship Type: Through our partnership with Camp Qwanoes we are able to help single parented families and others needing assistance through The Harder Foundation, the Side-by-Side program and our Oceanview Sponsorship Fund.

Camp Imadene is committed to presenting the Good News of Jesus Christ and encouraging Christian growth. We provide unforgettable experiences that are fun, safe, and wholesome.

 

Since 1926 we have provided quality Christian Camping to children, teens, and adults from all over Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and the World. At Imadene, relationships are what we are known for, as we boast an industry-best 1:2 staff to camper ratio and create an atmosphere where lifelong friendships are born.

 

With a majestic mountain as a backdrop, our location soothes the soul and excites the senses.

 

Our 200+ acres surround beautiful Mesachie Lake, just a 90 minute drive from Victoria or Nanaimo, British Columbia.

Cowichan River Bible Camp

Cowichan River Bible Camp is located on seventy six acres of property divided by the Cowichan River, nine miles west of Duncan, BC. It is a choice location for Family camping. We believe time at Cowichan will be a life changing experience for every age.


The Bible, God’s Word to us, is the focal point of a Cowichan Camp stay. While at Cowichan, you will receive encouragement from God's Word, which will help you in your day to day life.


We look forward to your visit this summer.
