Malibu Fact Sheet for Campers and Parents

What is Malibu?

Malibu is a Young Life camp 100 miles NW of Vancouver, British Columbia on the Princess Louisa Inlet and is accessible only by boat or seaplane.

Where is Malibu and how long does it taketo get there?

Your area will travel from your hometown to Vancouver, British Columbia; you will take the BC Ferry from Horseshoe Bay to Langdale Terminal, then up the Sunshine Coast to Egmont, BC. There you will join with campers from other areas for a three-hour cruise on the Malibu Princess (Young Life’s own passenger boat) to The Malibu Club at the mouth of the world-renowned Princess Louisa Inlet.

What to bring:

Limit your baggage to one (1) suitcase/duffel bag and one (1) carry on. Malibu provides all your linens.

Photo ID and Birth Certificate or Passport / Clothes for both warm and cool weather
Spending Money or Cards with Visa or MasterCard / Nice outfit
Toiletries / Clothes that can get really dirty
Sunscreen / Close-toed shoes
Rain coat / Swim suit and beach towel

NOTE: Cell phones are taken away at camp so campers/leaders should plan to have an alternate camera.

Money:

You won’t need a lot of money while at camp because everything you do is included in the price. You will need spending money for meals while travellingto camp and home. There is a camp store that sells Young Life clothing and gift items. There is also an ice cream parlor, a coffee shop and a craft/bead store. There is no cash machine at camp. If using a credit card for payment, please be sure to have contacted your bank ahead of time to let them know you are travelling out of country so your card is not frozen. Most debit cards do not work in a foreign country, so they do not work at Malibu as it is in a foreign country.

You can pay at the Malibu stores with:

  • Visa
  • Mastercard
  • US cash
  • Canadian cash
  • US Checks

Meals:

The dining experience at Malibu is Awesome! The Sechelt Dining Room has a beautiful ocean view and all meals are served family style. The food is plentiful so you will not go hungry while at camp, and therefore do not need money for food unless you would like to have a snack or an ice cream at the Totem Inn (our ice cream parlour). For campers with doctor prescribed special diets, Food Services will do their very best to provide for you. Please discuss food issues with your local Young Life staff members so they can communicate with camp ahead of time.

What not to bring:

These are non- negotiable:

(if caught with any of the following you will be sent homeat your expense!)

  • Drugs or Alcohol (crossing the Canadian Border is a “No-No”). Any prescription drugs must be in prescription containers.
  • Weapons of any kind

How do I send mail to campers?

Letters take 2-3 weeks to reach Malibu. Packages can take 4-6 weeks.If you are sending a care package ensure that you write “GIFT” on any customs documentation. If this is not done your camper will have to pay duty on their package before it will be picked up from the post office for them, which may result in the camper leaving the country before the package is released from the post office.

Doctor:

There is a doctor that stays the entire week at Malibu with the campers. They are on call throughout the week for emergencies or at the “Medicine man” ½ hour after breakfast and dinner. They are also at every event throughout the week should they be needed.

How can I contact my camper in case of emergency?

The Malibu Club is very remote and only accessible by boat or float plane. Due to this remote location there are no public phones, no computer access, and there is no cell coverage at Malibu. If there is a life or death emergency and you must get a message to your camper, contact the office at (778) 331-7944 or .
