Camp Potlatach is a residential summer Camp surrounded by mountains and water, has been in operation for over sixty years. With traditions dating back to that first summer at Potlatch in 1944, our Camp offers children and youth from around BC the opportunity to develop leadership skills, self esteem, respect for others and an appreciation for the sandy ocean beaches, dense west coast forest and the peaceful calm of nature on Howe Sound.

Wilderness based activities like swimming, kayaking, rock climbing, hiking and out-trip adventures, paired with communal meals and the support and guidance of highly trained leaders positively impact approximately over 1000 lives each summer. Camp Potlatch has the philosophy of providing quality, residential, summer programs for children between ages 7 to 17, from low-income families.
