Please sign up now so we can move forward with this fun labour day tradition! If not you, tell other members! We’d hate to have to cancel.

We have again booked the campsite for the September Labour Day long weekend! This is a fun and easy weekend combining relaxing, socializing, and paddling. Good for beginners or more experienced paddlers.

This island is close to Nanaimo and people can roll their kayaks and gear onto the ferry at Horseshoe Bay or drive across and park. People then paddle a short distance to the campsite to set up. We will have 2-3 paddles going out and there is an opportunity to just hike or chill at the campsite. Some people come on Friday morning or afternoon, and others on Saturday. Most leave Monday morning. There is a small ferry to the island for those not wanting to kayak at all. There is also a good concession which sells food and beer!

Saturday we usually hold a potluck which has us feasting on delicious meals! The Dinghy Dock pub is a short paddle away and we usually go on the Sunday eve for dinner. It offers many options for paddles and also some hiking.
