About the experience
L&E World Camp at Shawnigan Lake brings children together from around the Globe and across Canada set in a world class campus.
Experience the outdoors and broaden your horizons with L&E World Camps. Our camps offer a mix of fun activities and experiential learning in a relaxed and natural setting. Explore the campus and lake, engage in team sports, and participate in workshops designed to enhance your life-skills and. Picture days filled with vibrant activities, from arts and crafts that unleash creativity to heart-pounding outdoor adventures that test courage. With extremely comfortable accommodations and modern facilities, you can focus on making friends and enjoying new experiences while being surrounded by stunning Vancouver Island landscapes. Join us for an enriching adventure that combines exploration, and friendship in a welcoming and inclusive environment.
We think of L&E World Camp as a community where children feel safe to try something new and to learn about each others cultures. Our Shawnigan Lake Camp will be a truly Canadian experience, which is helped by the many Canadian children that attend.
Your child will return home (probably quite tired) after visiting stunning landmarks of Vancouver Island, swimming & kayaking on the lake and ocean, starring in their own movie and having made friends for life from around the globe. They will be more confident, have a skip in their step, a smile on their face and probably begging to come back the next year.
“The Best of the Best International Summer Camp”
So, pack your bags for a summer like no other, where the magic of Shawnigan Lake and the warmth of new friendships create memories that echo long after the campfire fades.
What do we do each day?
Each day is broken into 3 parts and all children will have the opportunity to choose which activities they would like to do each morning and afternoon. Our awesome evening programme is second to none with icebreaker games, theme nights, campfires and of course the legendary L&E Oscars.
Activity Choices
Participants have a choice from a huge variety of activity options each session (morning & afternoon).
There will always be Adventure, Sport and Creative options morning and afternoon. There are some also some specialist courses which you can add to your child’s experience. We pride ourselves on the high standard of tuition, the passion and fun we bring to each.
