Greetings from Camp Homewood! COVID-19 IMPACT Disruption is an apt word to describe what is going on in Canada and the world. Every time I open my email, there seems to be another notice about a disruption to some aspect of life: entertainment, travel, recreation, school, or business. Announcements declaring a state of emergency have been made at local, provincial, and national levels. A massive effort is being made to curb the spread of the coronavirus, and I am convinced that this effort will intensify over the next few weeks before things can return to normal. In light of these events, Camp Homewood has decided to suspend all operations until June 20, 2020. We are, however, planning to run our full summer 2020 camp schedule! Stay tuned for further updates as we get closer to the summer. We are closing our doors temporarily because our top priority is safety. This decision will impact 36 groups and almost 2,000 guests. We know that Homewood is a favorite destination and many people will be disappointed. We will miss serving our guests, but we know it is the right thing to do. We will continue to apply the recommendations of our public health officials and the provincial and federal governments to our camp environment to ensure that we play a positive role in managing the pandemic, and we look forward to reopening when we get the green light. We are hoping this will happen prior to July so we can welcome your children to camp! What does this mean?
Thank you for your understanding. Sincerely, Paul Bailey, |
The Pacific Coast Children’s Mission (PCCM) has been serving children, families, and adults since 1944. PCCM owns and operates Camp Homewood, which is located on a 200 acre, oceanfront property on Quadra Island, BC. The island is a short ferry ride from Campbell River on Vancouver Island. Homewood is well known for its summer Family Camps and quality programs for children and youth. The four summer camper programs offered are Harbour, Ranch, Sailing, and Woodsman camps.
From September to June, Homewood welcomes almost 90 rental groups during the week and on weekends. These include schools, quilters, hobby groups, corporate groups, youth groups, and church groups. Please explore our website and plan a stay at Homewood with your group.
