Transportation

Logistics can be tricky. We have you covered.

Bus Transportation to Camp (Sundays)

If needed, we offer a private bus service pick up at the Duke Point Nanaimo Ferry Terminal transporting your child “To Camp” on the Sunday before their session starts. If your child is coming from Vancouver, BC, please plan to have them walk on to the 3:15 pm Tsawwassen Ferry over to Duke Point Ferry terminal. Once they arrive to Duke Point around 5:15 pm, our Camp Driver, Neelam, will be located right outside the arrivals door in a West Coast Hockey Prep Camp T-shirt ready to help your child board the bus, take attendance and get them up to camp. It’s a beautiful scenic 1.5 hr drive up to Port Alberni where he will drop the campers off to the front doors of our On-site Accommodation located at the Alberni Valley Athletic Hall (beside the arena) where they will be greeted and checked in by our incredible residence hall directors who will get them settled in for their first night at camp. Click here for pricing.

You are responsible for purchasing your child’s walk on ticket and ensuring they make the ferry at that time. With busy summer travels on our beautiful West Coast it is highly recommended that you pre-purchase their walk on ticket with BC Ferries.

Flying to Camp (Sundays)

If you are flying “To Camp” and need transportation for the final leg of the journey please plan to land at the Nanaimo Cassidy Airport (YCD) ideally on the Sunday prior to the start of your child’s session.  It is a 1.5 hr drive from here “To Camp” so please try and have them come in no later than 7 pm so we can arrange for a driver to pick them up and get them straight to the camp accommodations within a reasonable hour. If your flight options are limited please reach out to one of our team members to discuss further options by emailing team@prepcamp.com. Click here for pricing.
