Since 1941, Camp Van Es has invited people to grow their spirituality through encounters with nature.
​
Throughout the year, we offer a number of programs, camps, and opportunities for children and adults from all walks of life to practice inclusive, contemplative spirituality, while learning from the land.
Camp Van Es hosts both "in house" programs, and provides hospitality for programs run by outside groups and community partners. At this time, we only promote our "in house" programs.
If you have questions or ideas regarding Program Development at Camp Van Es, please contact Randy Downing, Business Manager, with your feedback - van-escamp@shaw.ca.

The 2023 summer camp season has come and gone. Thank you top all of our staff and volunteers who made the experience so special for all of our campers. A special thank you Lynne, Megan and Marilyn who did the planning, cooking and running the camps.
This year we tried something we have never done before - made the camp free to our campers. The Van Es Board would like to thank all of the people, congregations and agencies who made this possible with their donations.
