Camp Artaban

Christian camping since 1923

Camp Artaban’s Mission:

Camp Artaban’s purpose is to

challenge children, youth, and adults,

spiritually, mentally and physically in a

camping context;

so that they may be brought into a

closer relationship with God

and each other in a loving community.

Camp Artaban is an independent, non-profit

society. Providing Christian Camping, rooted in

Anglican tradition, since 1923, it is one of the oldest

camps in British Columbia.

Located at the Head of Long Bay on Gambier Island

in Howe Sound, Camp Artaban is described as

“awesome” by youth and “paradise” by adults.

Less than one third of its scenic setting is used for

accommodation and activity, leaving 47 pristine

acres, and access to hundreds of acres of crown

land for natural exploration, outdoor adventure and

all levels of hiking. This ideal wilderness experience

is just a 30 minute boat ride from Horseshoe Bay,

West Vancouver.

"This has been the best week of my life." "I can't wait to come back next year!"

What makes us different

We are sensitive to youth culture while encouraging children to ‘be at camp’.

The rustic setting enables children to forget about the city life and enjoy getting messy.

A feeling of being in the wilderness, yet within a 30 minute boat ride of the city.

Modern amenities nestled in pristine coastal rainforest perfect for learning local flora & fauna and wilderness

skills.
