In the midst of the Southern Gulf Islands, just off the coast of British Columbia, sits Pender Island, and tucked along its Northeastern shore is Hope Bay. 


There, looking out from the rainforest and into the bay, is Hope Bay Bible Camp, a small camp community cultivating sincere relationships with Jesus Christ. 


Whether you’re coming to Hope Bay as a camper or as a volunteer, you’re coming into a family that’s focused on genuine relationship with Christ, and that’s passionate about mentorship and sharing the wonders of God’s love.


We invite you here, into our family, to play hard in God’s awesome creation, to laugh, to sing, and to discover.

our story . . .

Since 1962, when Mr. Menzies donated this land to be used for a Bible Camp, Hope Bay has been doing camps for kids of all ages, and from diverse backgrounds. Dave Griffin, who at the time was the Field Director for BC with Canadian Sunday School Mission, accepted the land from Mr. Menzies and began to operate summers camps, particularly focusing on inner-city children and youth. Dave had an incredible ministry and the stories of what God did during that time is amazing. Many kids from neighbouring cities found Jesus here at Hope Bay. 


Today, we continue with Mr. Menzies' vision, and offer summer camp opportunities for kids from all types of backgrounds and income brackets. Though we are not a large camp, our intention is to be strategic with our camps to offer the unique flavour of a coastal camp, paired with the intimacy and adventure of being near both the forest and the sea.



Community Involvement

Hosting Events

Our unique location and climate in the Southern Gulf Islands makes this a peaceful and tranquil location for

off-season workshops, leadership retreats,and  men's and women's retreats. 

We are available to the community of Pender island to offer potential youth ministry opportunities, and hosting community events. 

It has been a thrill to see God open doors to love our neighbours!

Intentional Involvement

We are passionate about showing who Jesus is in our own neighbourhood, and we seek to tangibly express God’s love for humanity in various ways.

By being involved in the lives and events of this island, we extend our mission beyond our camp property and share the love of Jesus in our local community.


We desire to invest in local ministries and organizations that help fill the gap for people in need in our community. Our approach is to form relationships, to serve, and to share hope through Jesus.
