Camp Fircom is in the initial planning stages of choosing a dock system for Sunday School Beach. The first summer camping sessions in six years took place during the summer of 2011 to great success. There was a successful accreditation visit from the United Church of Canada
and in 2012 Fircom will be able to apply for accreditation from the BC Camping Association.
In order to become accredited, Camp Fircom will need a dock for launching canoes and swimming.
Fircom will need to raise approximately $70,000. Give now to bring Fircom up to snuff!
