3. What does Squeah mean and how do you pronounce it?
Camp Squeah, in the local Salish dialect, alludes to 'Place of Refuge'. We recognize that life is busy, full of significant activities and events. We also realize that there are appropriate times to withdraw from the pace of life.

12. Can my child request a cabinmate?
Camp is an exciting place for children to experience independence safely. In some cases though, a child may want to be with one other person whom they know. If this is the case, please indicate the request on the registration form. We will try to accommodate the request where space is available, honouring one MUTUAL cabin mate request per camper. Both campers must have made the request prior to registration day and requests are NOT guaranteed.13. How many campers are in a cabin?
Normally, we have four to six campers in a cabin with two counsellors.
14. What qualifications do your counsellors have?
Our summer staff go through a thorough application process which includes an application, references, criminal record check and interview. They also go through 7 days of training which includes some basic first aid, wilderness outtripping experience, activity instruction, child care skills, and spiritual discipleship.

15. Does Squeah provide any form of transportation to camp?
No, unfortunately we are not set up to provide rides from the valley to the camp, all campers must find their own way. We recommend that you contact any local churches and they can potentially post the need for a ride to their congregation.
Please Note: Because of privacy reasons, we cannot give names of other families in your area who may also be coming to the same camp.
16. How do I contact my kids while they are at camp?
You can email your kids at campermail@squeah.com and we will print messages to be given out each afternoon.
