Teen Camps

Our Teen Land welcomes teens, 13-15 years old, to its special atmosphere in large canvas tents complete with its own campfire spit and cookhouse. Small groups of teens make close friends throughout the week of activity, building meaningful connections that last a lifetime.

Teen camp is a step beyond what the younger campers experience. Teens are given more responsibility and also more freedom, as they choose their activities, each week creating a project that involves the whole group's participation. In the “Giants Kitchen”, a cookhouse with an antique, wood fired stove, they prepare some of their own meals, leading up to a sumptuous banquet on the last night of camp. The teens experience all of the traditional camp activities of the younger camper's programs but there is the opportunity to build more challenge into everything they do. Under the competent leadership of their counsellors skilled in working with teens, they can participate in off-site hikes, and a day long canoe trip on Shawnigan Lake. They also have key roles in the Narnia drama and make entertaining contributions to the weekly Talent Shows. Experience teen camp>>.

There are 7-day Teen Camps throughout the summer.

Leaders in Progress

The Leaders In Progress (LIP) Program is an opportunity for youth , 16 & 17 years old, to develop their skills in working as recreational leaders with children in a camp setting. The program takes place over two summers, with the objectives to;

1) increase participants' skill and knowledge about leadership and camp activities;

2) to develop good work attitudes and habits;

3) to become experienced in all aspects of Camp Narnia's program of activities.

In their second year LIP's may follow the regular LIP training activities or, may apply to volunteer as a Counsellor In Training, where they will work along side a cabin counsellor, leading campers in activities.

The LIP Program is an excellent opportunity for hands-on learning of the camp operations and provides participants with valuable skills, preparing them for work at this camp or other recreational leadership settings.
