We had the great pleasure of visiting Camp Stillwood at Lindell Beach, British Columbia, on 16 September. Our hosts were Harry and Gail Edwards and they were very welcoming of us. If I had a complaint it would be that they fed us way to well and have put a serious dint in my plan to lose a bit of weight while I am here.
I loved the tree house (left). It sleeps 10 and kids on camp get an opportunity to spend a night up there. How much fun would that be!
The camp had a great range of facilities and they obviously have a great group of supporters and benefactors who enable them to put all of this together for the young people of the region.
We had the good fortune to see a deer and her fawn (left) while we were walking around the camp - a very exotic experience for Australians.
Camp Stillwood has 550-600 beds so this makes it a big camp by any standard. They have 200 people staffing their Summer camps - most of them volunteers.
This was our last camp visit in British Columbia and the next day we were off to Alberta on the Rocky Mountaineer.
Bye for now
