Transportation

Bus Transportation to Camp (Sundays):

If needed, we offer a private bus service pick up at the Duke Point Nanaimo Ferry Terminal transporting your child “To Camp” on the Sunday before their session starts. If your child is coming from Vancouver, BC, please plan to have them walk on to the 3:15 pm Tsawwassen Ferry over to Duke Point Ferry terminal. Once they arrive to Duke Point around 5:15 pm, our Camp Driver, Neelam, will be located right outside the arrivals door in a West Coast Hockey Prep Camp T-shirt ready to help your child board the bus, take attendance and get them up to camp. It’s a beautiful scenic 1.5 hr drive up to Port Alberni where he will drop the campers off to the front doors of our On-site Accommodation located at the Alberni Valley Athletic Hall (beside the arena) where they will be greeted and checked in by our incredible residence hall directors who will get them settled in for their first night at camp. 

You are responsible for purchasing your child’s walk on ticket and ensuring they make the ferry at that time. With busy summer travels on our beautiful West Coast it is highly recommended that you pre-purchase their walk on ticket with BC Ferries.

Flying to Camp (Sundays):
