75 years ago,
Ase and Pamela Hurlburt had a dream ….
a dream of enriching the lives of children

With the support of the community and later in the custody of Trinity United Church, they have done just that. Over the years, a small beachfront paradise called Camp Hurlburt – located just 20 minutes from downtown Vernon – has touched the lives of almost 20,000 young people of all denominations, or of no particular denomination, through their experiences at Camp Hurlburt. Camp programming encourages and challenges young peoples’ spiritual path; focuses on faith formation and environmental stewardship through experiences such as kayaking, canoeing, swimming, music, drama, arts and crafts.

Camp Hurlburt is guided by a vision of

• learning how to live in new relationship with each other…
• discovering new ways to being healthy, vital and life-sustaining…
• becoming a place where anyone can gather in community…

And in this world of technology, profit and self-promotion, there are fewer and fewer places where children and adults, in groups of their peers, can come together and truly experience the reality of building community in a natural setting. Time has also taken a toll on the facilities and the Camp needs to be upgraded. Trinity United Church is in the process of determining the future of Camp Hurlburt.
