Camp Fircom & Pringle

Spencer

The seeds that were planted in 2003 have grown and are about to bear fruit.  For the greater part of the last year, major construction upgrades have been underway at two of the camps identified in the Camp Future Project: Camp Fircom and Camp Pringle.

The facilities at both camps are being fully renovated and redeveloped as part of the Camp Future vision.  Camp Fircom on Gambier Island – which was named as the regional camp for the Lower Mainland --  is slated for completion early next year. But Camp Pringle –  the regional camp for Vancouver Island, located on Shawnigan Lake, between Nanaimo and Victoria – is now just weeks away from completion!
