Description
The beginnings of Camp Olave demonstrate amazing courage on the part of early Guiders. In February 1930 the former assembly camp of the Rat Portage Lumber Company was purchased. After much fundraising and difficulties it was owned free and clear in 1935. This was done during the depression! Originally the camp consisted of Rose and Brock cottages, stables made of huge logs, a few shacks and a sunken wharf. It is currently cared for by four Girl Guide Areas, Burnaby Royal, Fraser Delta (Richmond Divisions) Lions and Vancouver which make up the Camp Olave Management Committe (COMC). Then as now there is a constant need for caring people to look after the camp.
