The land and the buildings

37 acres of forest, field, and oceanfront on Denman Island.

Camp Denman is the old Elkhaven camp, repaired rather than rebuilt: The Haven, our main building, is being restored for studios, classrooms, and a kitchen; campers sleep in canvas tents; and the forest, field, and shoreline are left as they are, in close connection with the land.

Studios for every craft

A recording studio, an art studio, a digital workshop, a live performance room, classrooms, and the camp kitchen support focused work across disciplines.

Camp life

Campers sleep in canvas tents, eat three meals a day from the camp kitchen at the tables by the water, and gather at the fire pits in the evening.

Land and ocean

Forest trails, a large open field, a heritage apple orchard, and almost 1,000 feet of oceanfront along Baynes Sound.
