You're invited to partner with friends of camp who are raising funds for our Camper Sponsorship Fund to help send Kids 2 Camp!

Friends of Homewood are planning to ride the 280 kilometer route from Victoria, BC to Camp Homewood on Quadra Island in one day. (Yes! ONE DAY!).   Each year, thanks to the generosity of people like you, we have exceeded our fundraising goals!  This means that hundreds of children have already been able to attend camp since this initiative started just 4 years ago who otherwise wouldn't have been able to.  That's amazing!

→This year's fundraising ride has a dual purpose: to raise funds to help underprivileged kids experience a life-changing week at Camp Homewood, and to provide bursary funds to assist some of our volunteer leaders to pay for tuition this fall.  We all know that providing an exceptional camp experience for children depends on attracting a hard working, caring group of volunteers!

What is a GRAN FONDO?  "Gran Fondo" may not be a term most people are familiar with. "Gran Fondo" is roughly translated from Italian into English as “big ride”. There’s some cycling tradition behind its use. World-class cycling enthusiasts may be more particular about what qualifies as Gran Fondo distance (at least 120 km) , however, elsewhere folks are less precise. Regardless, the 280 km ride from Victoria, BC to Quadra Island. BC would meet anybody's distance requirement for a big ride!
