CAN'T WAIT TO GET TO CAMP!

 

Find information on special round-trip transportation from Tsawwassen & Chemainus Ferry Terminals.  See below for details.

 

Transportation To & From Camp

 
 

There are three drop off locations available to campers. We encourage Vancouver campers to travel with our staff from our Tsawwassen drop-off location. We encourage our Vancouver Island campers to travel with our staff from our Chemainus drop-off location. Parents can also choose to drop their children off directly at Pioneer Pacific Camp. Travel with our staff helps us start each camp with everyone arriving at the same time and gives everyone, old friends, and new, a chance to catch up and get to know each other before camp even starts!

Bring your child to camp in the comfort of your family vehicle. Drop your child off as the rest of the campers arrive. Come to the Camp Office and say “hi” as you sign your child in. At the end of the week come bright and early to pick up your camper. We will need you to stop by the office again to sign out your child. Leaving from Vancouver you will need to take a BC Ferries ferry from either Horseshoe Bay or Duke Point to Nanaimo. From there, drive south to Chemainus. At the Chemainus Ferry Terminal you will take the ferry over to Thetis Island. This ferry leaves from Chemainus several times a day. This is a 25-40 minute trip. Once you land at Thetis Island you can travel by vehicle to the Pioneer Pacific Camp site.

If you are travelling by boat or sea plane you must notify the office at 604.818.9762 prior to arrival so we can arrange pick-up for your camper. Please note that you will be required to sign your child in and out with our staff.
