About the Location

Sasamat Outdoor Centre is located on a 5-acre lakeshore property within Belcarra Regional Park, just outside of Port Moody, British Columbia. Belcarra is the traditional territory of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation. To acknowledge the Tsleil-Waututh Nation's connection to the land, Belcarra Regional Park was officially renamed "təmtəmíxʷtən which translates to "the biggest place for all the people" in hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓.

Sasamat Outdoor Centre is a place for all. They are a community-based non-profit organization that offers summer camps, outdoor education and community rentals. They believe that time spent outdoors is time well spent, especially when we have the privilege of doing so together.

Visit the Sasmat Outdoor Centre website to check out their photos and videos.
