About Camp Jubilee

Camp Jubilee is located ~60 km northwest of Victoria on 114 acres of primarily forested land, near the community of Shirley, BC.    There are 3 tenting sites and no power available.  The tenting sites have open fields and are surrounded by a beautiful west coast forest.  A salmon bearing stream runs through the property.

 

SITES
Three tenting sites offer a variety of camping experiences depending on the size and experience of the group. One of the sites has facilities for camping later in the fall and earlier in the spring seasons.

​

1) Kirby

Kirby Site holds up to 40 overnight campers (includes youth & staff) and is somewhat wheelchair accessible. It contains a combination cooking/dining shelter with a woodburning stove and a permanent LDP as well as 4 platform (Vytex) tents which hold 6 campers each. There is a Panabode building, updated in 2024 with two new doors and smoke detectors to make it suitable for sleeping in. A wood stove will provide heat in the Panabode and rechargeable lights are available. The Kirby site has 4 outhouses on site and a campfire ring.

 

2) Bridges

Bridges Site holds up to 40 overnight campers (includes youth & staff). It contains two new cooking/dining shelters and a permanent LDP. There are 4 outhouses on site and a campfire ring. There are 4 patrol boxes, dish pans, pots, carts and more equipment in the Bridges Panabode shelter.

 

3) Gateway

Gateway Site has a smaller shelter for cooking and eating and a large field.  This site is good for smaller Pathfinder or Ranger units.  There are 4 outhouses near the parking area that can be used by this site.
