I do not recommend going to this site. The people responsible for the site have bad dealings and do not find dealing with the tenants. Everything in this site is not available for use, such as the swimming pool. Before we made a reservation, we asked about swimming times. He said it is possible to use at any time if we book the lifeguard who is there. When we go, he said we cannot. Usage is only two hours every day, at a value of $40 per hour per hour. The summit is rented on Friday at 4 pm until Sunday at 1 pm, at a cost of $2800. The problem is that the site has nothing for entertainment. The fire ring does not work. Smoking is prohibited even outside. The swimming pool is paid. Day and night, indoors and outdoors. The beds are small and uncomfortable. I highly do not recommend them

The camp is not bad. It would be acceptable if it wasn’t for the grumpy husband and wife that run the place. Shame on North Vancouver for hiring people like this to run a kids camp. They don’t seem like they want to be there at all. Pretty sad. I would not recommend renting this place no matter how inexpensive it is.

I actually stayed here when I was a little guy at the cabin as part of his school program wherein we got to see the trout hatchery a bunch of different nature and a nice long hike. Kid friendly lots of washrooms along the paths and very well maintained paths. Dog friendly as well although I do not have a pup I have seen many excellent trails to ride a bicycle or to run. 10/10

Loved the camp sight. It has: - big common area withe fire place and comfy sofas. - 2 dormitories with (20 bunk beds and 2 regular beds), 2 stalls washrooms each. - fully equipped commercial kitchen. - dining area with 4 folding picnic like tables. - washer and dryer. - outdoor private swimming pool. - outdoor area that could work for sports activities. The camp is close to hiking trails that takes you to the Capilano dam. The camp is ideal for schools' and big groups' trips. Happy camping 🏕
