A New Bible School Year at Capernwray Harbour has Begun!

We enjoy welcoming you, your friends and family to walk the grounds, bring the kids to the playground or visit the Pump House (snack shop). With this change in season, we want to remind our Thetis Island friends and neighbours to fill out a new waiver form for the 23/24 season which is valid from September thru to the end of August each year.

Here is the online waiver link:

When visiting the property, please do drop by the Main Office for a quick ‘hello’ to let us know you are on the grounds. We look forward to seeing you!

Returning to Extreme Fire Hazard

The dry weather is continuing, so we're having to take the fire hazard level back up to Extreme as of today (Tuesday the 19th).

It's a complete ban on burning and any potentially spark-producing activities - no chainsaws, excavators, sawmills, lawnmowers, etc.

We thank you for your cooperation and vigilance!
