The DAY Camp

DAY CAMP FOR DADS

Welcome to Day Camp

Following is a list of the amenities available.
The Camp is constantly evolving as each new idea develops.

The Day Camp is an extension of my work as a Life Coach.
Built with relaxation and comfort as the key to resetting and revitalizing.

Designed for individuals to expand and breathe for themselves.
To fully “get out of town” for a day.

Nature is our natural battery charger.
Drop by for some rejuvenating and recharging soon.

Give yourself a break!!
Or maybe you know someone that could use a day off?


Handcrafted with love

Built with casual in mind

To wander and breathe

The Hillbilly Spa

…combines a wood fired sauna and a cold splash tub, along with a chemical free hot tub.
All of which is well placed on a private acreage in a rural area of Vancouver Island.

Thoughtfully designed as a forest getaway for the clients needing that extra bit of solitude.
Far enough out of town to really feel you’ve “Gone Camping”, and close enough to drop by for the day.

The newly completed change room offers hot & cold showers, basic toiletries and an organic salt scrub to finish.
Plenty of towels available but we do recommend bringing a robe and sandals for wandering between sessions.

Designed by Nahum @ Alpenglow Saunas

Hillbilly Cold Splash

There’s nothing quite like a refreshing splash in cold water to awaken your spirit and rejuvenate your senses. A big trough filled with crispy cold-water to overflowing awaits you.

Exposure to cold water can enhance circulation and reduce inflammation, potentially alleviating pain and accelerating post-exercise recovery.

Research also suggests that cold water therapy releases brain chemicals associated with positive moods.

Oh, and did I mention this is all in a tent?

What to watch out for at Camp

We have done our best to keep the campgrounds safe from rolling rocks and nasty weeds but there may still be a few lying about.

Please use caution when walking throughout the acreage as not all surfaces are even. 😉
