Imagine yourself at the lakeside in the summer with choices including: swimming, canoeing, environmental crafts, forest sensory tours, rock-climbing, archery, low ropes, field games, shooting stars, and meandering walks amidst tall, tall trees. Accommodations and meals are also provided.

COVID-19 SAFETY PLAN

All Camp Program will adhere to Evans Lake’s COVID-19 Health and Safety Plan. We will be updating this plan over the next couple of months, as guidelines shift. This plan includes frequent hand washing/sanitization, a face mask policy, physical distancing, daily health screening, and flexible cancellation policies for campers who may become ill.

2021 SUMMER UPDATE

77618C95-0F46-40E5-BE38-5D0E21E95F0F


With the COVID-19 pandemic ongoing and set to continue into the summer months,  we have made the difficult decision not to offer our overnight Summer Camp program for the 2021 season.  We want to thank our community for your ongoing patience and support while we worked this out. This was not an easy decision and not what we had hoped for. Ultimately, the health and safety of our campers and staff is our top priority. And it also takes a substantial amount of time to plan, hire and prepare for a camp program, and we unfortunately came to a point where a decision had to be made.  

We are pleased, however, to offer our Day Camp program again this summer. This program is more compatible with the current provincial health orders and COVID-19 safety protocols.

While we look forward to the season ahead, we know our overnight campers who were hoping to return will be disappointed. We are disappointed too! We LOVE overnight Summer Camp. Please know that we will offer overnight camp programs as soon as we are able, and it is safe to do so.  Fingers crossed for Winter Camp 2021!

Evans Lake has had a challenging year with the loss of our 2020 spring and fall rentals, our 2020 Summer Camp (overnight) programs, and all but a few day use rentals for spring 2021. Overall, we were able to host 11% of our normal annual visitors in 2020.  We are hopeful that, come fall, we are able to welcome back our school & community groups to camp. If you are able to support one of our fundraising initiatives this year, we would be very grateful as your contributions ensures Evans Lake can continue to welcome campers for years to come. You can learn more on the Evans Lake donation page. Thank you to all who have already donated.

We look forward to connecting with you again in the near future. 

Sincerely,

Lauren Marghetti

SUMMER 2021 UPDATE
/ / by Lauren Marghetti

Typically, we open summer camp registration in the first week of January. Right now, we feel it is still too early to know whether we will be able to run our overnight or day camp programs for summer 2021. From the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in B.C., Evans Lake has remained committed to providing programs to youth as long as it is safe and in line with the recommendations from the BC CDC and our Provincial Health Officer. Since March 2020, the tools to manage COVID-19 and the science to understand it have improved, which have allowed us to implement strong safety plans. But with the introduction of vaccines and kids having returned to schools, the landscape is shifting again, so we would like more time to see how things evolve. As such, we are delaying the opening date for registration at this time. We will update you again in late February on our summer camp programs, as well as the registration date.  For those who deferred or donated their camp fees and are therefore eligible for early registration, you will receive an update on the early registration details in February as well.

Sincerely, 

Lauren Marghetti, Executive Director

DAY CAMP 2020
/ / by Lauren Marghetti

Evans Lake is shifting gears this summer to offer a day camp program at camp. Our goal is to offer similar programming to our overnight summer camp experience, minus the sleepover part. 


Our fun and educational programs balance opportunities for learning with ample time for play and adventure! Evans Lake’s summer day camp gets your child outside and learning about forests, fresh water, and local plant and animal species. Interactive games, camper-led discoveries, hikes to nearby mountain lookouts, and much, much more ensure endless opportunities for youth to escape, explore, and experience nature first-hand. Campers hone their outdoor skills while also enjoying some of our classic Evans Lake camp activities, such as campfire songs, canoeing and cannonballs into the lake.


This program is open to youth ages 7-13 years and teens ages 14-16 years. Each week, campers will be divided into groups of 6-7, lead by 1 staff member. These smaller cohorts will rotate independent from one another through each of the activity stations. Due to COVID-19 health and safety guidelines, the activities will be modified to meet physical distancing and sanitation requirements. In the coming weeks, we will be posting these guidelines to our website.


Day Camp programming runs from 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM

(Drop off between 8:00 – 9:00 AM, Pick up between 3:30 – 4:15 PM)

Dates: Weekly programs, starting July 06
Includes: Evans Lake programming
For: Youth ages 7-16
Cost: $240-300 (depending on length of week)

Note: for day camp to operate, we need a minimum number of campers signed up by June 19. If possible, please do not delay in registering your kids for this program

IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND DAY CAMPS IN SQUAMISH, WE WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU WOULD FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO ALL YOUR CONTACTS WHO COULD BENEFIT FROM THIS PROGRAM. HELP US SPREAD THE WORD

We Will Miss You

Thank you Kevin!

A huge thank you to Kevin Berryman, our Facilities Manager, for all the hard work he has done over the past nine years. From fixing all the regular stuff, to sourcing products at a discount, to driving to camp at a moment’s notice— WE THANK YOU! These past 9 years have had so many highs and lows and you have risen to every occasion and every challenge. Your good humour, stories and quick (and cheap) fixes will be missed. You are a wonderful person who has given so much to camp. We are so lucky to have had you this long.

New For 2022- All-Gender Cabin Option

    Evans Lake is introducing “all-gender cabins” for our 2022 Overnight Summer Camp program.  We are doing this to provide welcoming spaces for gender diverse campers, staff, and campers whose families prefer or are open to an all-gender cabin.  We will also have Boy and Girl cabins available. As we strive to create a fun environment for everyone to explore forests, taking this next step to better include all members of our community was a natural fit. 
    As with all programs and for a good quality experience, all of our cabins require a minimum number of campers.  If the registration for any cabin type is very low, we will reach out to all registered families in advance of the camp to advise them of the low registration and offer alternate options.

    EVANS LAKE COMMUNITY SURVEY

    We are collecting community feedback for our strategic planning that begins in early 2022.  Your voice matters to us. This survey will help us understand the needs of the Evans Lake community and will help guide the next 5 years of our work and the experience of guests on site.

    Evans Lake is a community-driven forest education experience—so many of the ideas and activities that make us who we are have come from guests, our staff team, and their friends and families.

    We will be putting together a summary of the feedback and sharing it with you all sometime prior to our 2022 Summer Camps.  We can’t wait for you to hear what others have shared!

    Whether you’re sharing support, an idea that will challenge us, or offering your re-think on what “forest education” means to you, we’re here for all of it.  Thank you in advance for taking time to complete this survey!

    Here’s the link to the Evans Lake Community Feedback.

    Please fill out this survey by February 14. 

    COVID-19 SAFETY PLAN

    All camp programs will follow Evans Lake’s comprehensive COVID-19 Safety Plan. We will be updating this plan over the next few months, as guidelines shift. This plan includes frequent hand washing, sanitization, a face mask policy, physical distancing, daily health screening, and flexible cancellation policies for campers who may become ill.  At this time, the vaccination requirement for campers is still being considered. Public Health has not yet declared whether vaccines will be required for campers in order to attend overnight camp programs.  When this information is released, Evans Lake will make an informed decision, develop a policy and communicate it to all families.  We will allow for flexible cancellations/refunds if the policy does not align with your personal choice or the advice of your doctor. Thank you for your patience as we work through this process. For more information, please click here.
