DAY Camp

Day Camp - Bowen Island Dog Ranch

Give your dog a fun day of socialization and exercise! 

Whether you’re a Bowen Island resident or visitor, we provide a safe and natural environment for your dog to enjoy.

Several times daily your dog is able to freely play and explore our forest and pasture with other dogs, always supervised by our caring team. Nap time for essential rest is provided in our heated and air-conditioned facilities. 

Day Camp Hours

Full Day: 7:30am (8am weekends and holidays) – 4:30pm

Half Day: 4.5 hours (morning or afternoon by appointment)

  • Single day and package rates available.
  • We accept all ages (elderly dogs welcome if mobile). 
  • We do not take aggressive or highly anxious dogs. We encourage a “test” day to see if they’re a good fit.
  • Dogs are grouped in small packs based on size, energy, and temperament.
  • All vaccinations must be up to date, see requirements here.
  • Day Camp closes for the main Christmas and March Break weeks.

Day Camp & Train

Give your dog a fun day of training and socializing! Our customized single or a multi-day package training sessions provide a supportive environment to enhance your dog’s skills.

Bowen Home Shuttle Service

Afternoon Drop Off: 4pm – 4:30pm (the last ferry back to Bowen to pick up your dog before we close is the 3:30pm sailing)
