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!"
