Embrace your Inner Maverick

No phones, no showers, no socks… 100% fun. Okay, one pair of socks

Camp Wildside is a one-of-a-kind, immersive ocean and forest camp experience where boys get to enjoy summer the way it’s meant to be: outside, in tents, unplugged, and fully engaged. Set along the stunning Sechelt Inlet at Porpoise Bay, this camp blends ocean, forest, and adventure into five unforgettable days. Two nights at Porpoise Bay Park and 2 nights backcountry camping. 

Inspired by Nico's insistence that his pals have their own "boys of summer experience" with his trusted camp, Fireside Adventures, we decided to go all out and create something that feels old school and necessary for the lads his age.

From paddling, crabbing and fishing to whittling, hiking, cooking, and fort-building, every day is packed with hands-on experiences that build confidence, independence, and connection.

Why Choose Camp Wildside?

  1. More Than Your Typical Overnight Camp
    Yes, we have s’mores, Capture the Flag, and campfires. But we also bring Fireside’s signature experiences like forest parkour, outdoor Dungeons & Dragons, and Iron Chef cooking challenges.

  2. Skill-Building Meets Real Fun
    For many, this is their first time away from home. We support each camper in building comfort outdoors through teamwork, problem-solving, and resilience, skills they can carry forward into future adventures.

  3. Small Groups, Big Impact
    We keep groups intentionally small to ensure personal attention, strong mentorship, and a safe, inclusive environment where every camper can thrive.

  4. Simple for Parents
    Drop-off and pick-up are at Horseshoe Bay, easy and streamlined. We handle the rest, including meals, gear, and daily photos, so you can stay connected.

  5. High Value, Lasting Impact
    At $649 for the week, this is an accessible, high-impact experience filled with adventure, growth, and unforgettable moments.
