Camp Narnia

How Kids Columnist Christa Spent Her Summer Vacation - Camp Narnia ~ a Vancouver Island farm & forest adventure...

"The name "Narnia" comes from "The Chronicles of Narnia", a series of children's books written by C.S. Lewis, where Narnia is a country open only to young people! The books portray basic values of responsibility, compassion, joy and loyalty, values that comprise a major part of our camp philosophy.

Narnia is a truly unique camp where young people can experience the joy of rural life on a farm while learning about traditional ways and the basic values of "life as it used to be". Campers have fun in the fresh air, mingle with farm animals, develop outdoor skills and enjoy a variety of adventures."
