By definition, Querencia is a place where one feels safe, a place from which one's strength of character is drawn. This is the type of environment we strive to create at Camp Querencia: a place where every child/youth feels safe and where their self-esteem and confidence flourish! 

Our summer day camp intentionally creates a space where day-to-day distractions are taken out of the mix, allowing girls to forge deep connections with other girls and experience the power of sisterhood. Free of any self-consciousness they might feel at school or in other social settings, Camp Querencia fosters an appreciation for community and gives girls/boys a first-hand sense of what it feels like when we “raise each other up.”

During our Camp Querencia ‘Adventure Camp’ sessions campers will start out each day building on our ‘cabin group’ relationships through team initiative activities, get creative with some arts & crafts and set out on ‘off-site adventures to explore the beautiful sea to sky region. Some of the ‘off-site’ activities our campers can expect to participate in are: hiking, canoeing, kayaking, orienteering/geocaching and fishing to name a few. We are so lucky to live and play in one of the most beautiful places on earth, here in Squamish, that there aren’t enough hours in a day for all that we have planned for our girls this summer!

Program activities include archery, group games, team initiatives, orienteering and artistic activities combined with purposeful group chats. In a supportive space, we intentionally provide our campers with a place to be open, broaden concepts of self-love, and increase opportunities for campers to gain leadership skills. We’ll discuss healthy relationships, anti-bullying, and the idea of 'paying it forward.'

Under the mentorship of an experienced leader, the girls/boys will grow and learn together in “cabin groups” of 8-10 campers. They will leave carrying a different set of ideals; with a boost in confidence; having made new, lifelong friends; and with a perspective they will take home with them – continuing the positive, influential ripple effect our leaders will have imprinted on them.

Camp Querencia… changing the world, one camper at a time!

*Campers are required to bring their own "nut-safe" lunch, running shoes or sandals that securely tie/velcro to the feet and weather-appropriate clothing. A recommended list of what to bring will be sent to all registrants after your application has been received.
