ok I have actually been there!!! really!! excpet we only did the day trip thing =) a beautiful spot for sure and you know I have actually done that trip several times by myself and survivied. My first tip is to avoid the little play room on the ferry!!! lol

Also not sure if you are going to drive sraight through but in cowichen bay there is a SUPER ice cream shop ( the udder guys) and restraunt ( the rock cod cafe) both are family friendly and great food( the ice creamis to DIE for!!!) and great for bribery aka motivation for wee ones!
will you see lisa? say hi if you do!
good luck!

You will have such an amazing time. What a great idea. I’m sure your batteries will be recharged.

Only tip, bring lots of toys, books or whatever to keep the kids distracted during the down time. Just in case. I doubt they’ll need it with all the other kids to play with.

That sounds WONDERFUL!!

Can I come?! You have no idea how much I need something like that right now.

I hope your days are filled with renewel and fun, inspiration and laughter and friendship and everything else… well, after you’ve got the travelling bit out of the way anyway!

Hope all goes smoothly – will look forward to hearing all about when you get back. Lots of photos please!! xx

Your retreat sounds like a lot of fun. I wish you the best kind of scenario: good weather, and a 11 year old who loves little kids (bigger kids make the best babysitters in the world!).

Enjoy!

We bring favorite music for the car, and a portable DVD player for when the kids are so hyped up that they need to be enticed to sit down quietly for a while.

Are you going through Duncan and Lake Cowichan to get to Bamfield? Or are you going via Port Alberni? I have some good friends who’ve camped there twice this past summer and LOVED it, and depending on the direction you’re going, you should give me a call. I can’t imagine you’ll have time to stop by if you are with friends, but if it *is* possible and if you are going via Duncan (possible if you take the ferry to Victoria – much less so if you go the Naniamo route) then I’d love to have a visit!
Whatever you do, enjoy enjoy enjoy! I’ve actually never been to Bamfield but have heard it’s beautifully quaint and has awesome beaches.
