At BGC South Coast BC, our professional (and cool!) staff offer programs for kids and youth at 10 neighbourhood Clubs (soon to be 11!) and at our one-of-a-kind wilderness summer camp, Camp Potlatch. Clubs and Camp give them a place to belong when they aren’t at home or at school. 

Clubs are open every day after school and during school closures. During this time, kids and youth can explore their interests and discover what makes them amazing, all in a place that feels like THEIR place. A place where they don’t feel like they’re being supervised (but they are), and a place where they CHOOSE how they spend their time. That can look a little different for every kid! That’s why we’ve got something for everyone, from sports, physical activity and games to creative arts, STEM, homework help, leadership programs, cooking and SO much more. 

When summer rolls around, thousands of campers make their way (by boat!) to the shores of Howe Sound for the adventure of a lifetime. When kids come to Camp, they have the opportunity to do things that they might never have done before. Things like sea kayaking, rock climbing on a natural rock wall, and singing campfire songs with their friends. But what they are really doing is learning to challenge themselves, experiencing success, and developing lifelong relationships. 

Our prevention programs are open to ALL kids and youth, and we hope to reach as many of them as we can! We know that when kids and youth spend more time at BGC, our impact in their lives is GREATER.
