campground situated on the Sechelt Peninsula, also known
as the Sunshine Coast. Camp Byng consists of 4 lodges with Cub
hulls, treed camping areas, creeks, 2 meadows with shelters,
a chapel and many trails for the ultimate outdoor experience.
A kilometer long ocean waterfront affords opportunities for
beach activities, studying marine life and watching passing
cruise ships. Since its official opening in 1922, Camp Byng
has hosted thousands of Scout youth and other youth organizations.
