Description:

This year in an effort to encourage more female campers in this unique adventure program, we are reserving 4 spots for campers who identify as female. They will be integrated with the rest of the Polaris campers (total of 12). 

Polaris Adventure is a 6-day, 5-night program designed to invite participants to step up and become confident leaders amongst their peers. By overcoming personal challenges together in a dynamic group led by supportive staff, Polaris campers will have the opportunity to recognize their own potential and leave camp feeling capable and ready for the next adventure. 

Polaris is the exciting next evolution of our foundational Kids Camp program. This co-ed program gives teens the opportunity to take on a more active role in their time at camp. Polaris youth will split their time between taking part in classic camp activities at Fircom and embarking on paddling or hiking out-trips that expand their knowledge of Gambier Island and the Howe Sound, as well as their wilderness and camping know-how. Each Polaris Adventure camp will have a combination of day trips (hikes and other beaches around the island), and one or two overnight out-trips. On-site skill building activities include archery, cooking and fire building, and learning to paddle in canoes and kayaks. Other on-site activities that Polaris Adventure participants will engage in are campwide games, the Talent Show, Operation Firefly, etc.

Take advantage of this unique experience to explore the natural beauty of Gambier Island, make lifelong friends, and gain new skills that can build a foundation for a lifetime of adventuring in the outdoors.
