TOUGH GUYS 2023
April 28-30, 2023

Friday to Sunday afternoon.

At the NORTH BEACH CAMPGROUND
Golden Ears Provincial Park in Maple Ridge BC.
CSB continues with our
KNIGHTS Theme

Knights for the LORD.

COST per Guy:
$30 for the weekend    $20 for Saturday-only.
Pastors are
FREE.
(includes Group Activities and Saturday evening's Knight's Feast)
Church Leaders: CSB works through church groups. 

Organizing Your Camping Experience: You will be camping with other families from your church. We try to put 2 or 3 families on a campsite. We then put your campsites together with others from your church to create a strong sense of community.
    Many of our groups plan their food, accommodations, etc. as a group and share the costs between them.
     Some churches, however, ask families to provide their own food, it's your choice.

Group Coordinator: CSB cannot register individual campers or families. We register groups and ask each church to designate a Group Coordinator who will act as a liaison with the CSB Tough Guys Camp Director, George Bertness.
     The Group Coordinator collects the registration fees of $30 for  all campers in his group, and pays them to
Steve Millar, our camp registrar. Please see the Payment Options, below. If you have concerns about this, please contact George Bertness at 604-637-7024 or gbertness@gmail.com for your options.

REGISTRATION: Please REGISTER by contacting Steve Millar at slmillar@lightspeed.ca. He will need
  • the number of campers attending,
  • the name of the Group,
  • the name of the Group Coordinator, and
  • any special campsite needs (ie: big RV).

PAYMENT OPTIONS:
  1. Pay as a group ahead of time by e-transfer to slmillar@lightspeed.ca.
  2. Pay as a group at the camp at the Knight's Feast on Saturday with cash or a cheque made out to "CSB WFV".
  3. Late additions - If you have some late paying campers, you can pay the balance at camp at the the Knight's Feast.
Pay at the camp by cash or cheques made out to "CSB WFV". Arrangements can be made to pay by e-transfer to the Camp Registrar, Steve Millar, at slmillar@lightspeed.ca.

PROJECTS & CAMP SKILLS
At TOUGH GUYS, there will be some crafts - we call them "projects" - and skill-development activities that will make the camp that much more memorable to the boys and men. Details will be added shortly.

COST per Guy:
$30 for the weekend    $20 for Saturday-only.
Pastors are
FREE.

Tough Guys 2023 will be here before we know it!
It will be our third and final Tough Guys Campout using the KNIGHTS Theme.

TOUGH GUYS 2022...
It's always nice when the Lord gives us three beautiful rain-free days at TOUGH GUYS. But, 2022 wasn't that camp. And while it was sometimes misty and damp at the campground, our canoeists were in sunshine. Well, it sometimes does rain at TOUGH GUYS, but we have always had sunshine, too. It really doesn't matter, because the Lord blesses us. He gives us the weather  we need, because...
                                           We're tough guys!

Last year was a great time of enjoying the outdoors together. The canoeing, the Obstacle Course and the King's Feast were definite highlights. And our fellowship in Jesus was fantastic. Each church had its own campsites nicely grouped together. This allowed each group to enjoy their own activities, cooking and campfires. Manhunt was a  favourite night-game in 2019. Over the weekend, there were activities for the entire camp: hikes; canoeing; polar bear swim; Obstacle Course; Shield & Sword construction; Treasure Hunt; Knights Feast; council fires with worship and a special speaker. Guys could join in as they wished. We were blessed.

Our 2023 Campout will be different... BETTER! We are camping at the NORTH BEACH campground ALL BY OURSELVES. We have secured a total of 55 campsites to be used as we need. Praise the Lord, we have exclusive use of the campground which gives us considerable liberty in where we camp and what we do. And the beach is just down the hill.


There is no tap water at North Beach.
Bring a large container to provide yourself with potable water.

Fresh Water is provided free of charge at the
Gold Creek and Alouette Campgrounds,

where you will also find free of charge
flush toilets and hot showers for our use.
Pit toilets are located at North Beach.

Cellphone reception is spotty
in all the Golden Ears Campgrounds.

Using TEXT MESSAGES usually works well enough,
especially on the beach or nearer to the Park Entrance.
