This camping facility, operated for many years by a member organization of the Association of Neighbourhood Houses of Greater Vancouver, is located on a quite restricted site adjacent to Sasamat Lake, a picturesque recreational watercourse close to Vancouver. The camp provides natural outdoor experiences throughout much of the year for children, families and retreat groups.
The first phase of the project involved undertaking a master plan for any future development in view of updating the aging facilities and expanding the potential user groups. Ensuring that any development on the site was respectful of the environment was a high priority of the client as well as the numerous jurisdictional agencies which had authority.
Implementation of the projects is awaiting fundraising.
