West Coast Expeditions & Kyuquot Field Station

Base Camp Rental

 Four burners on the go

Our Base Camp and services can be rented for a range of uses, as long as it fits with our pattern of living in harmony with the local ecosystem, the community, and other visitors to the area. So, hosting a rock concert or ATV race might just fall outside of possible uses!

Our comfortable capacity is 10 to 12 guests, but depending on the groups' familiarity with one another and age ranges (e.g., a family reunion), we can offer shared tent accommodation with beds for 16 to 20 guests. With additional tents (just back from the prime waterfront sites) and thick mattresses on the ground (not on one of our regular wooden beds), we can host 20+ guests for shorter periods of 3 to 4 days... though the dining and activity shelter then becomes very cozy!

A flat rate for our Wilderness Kayaking Retreat facilty rental will be customized as required to include accommodations, catered meals, use of all camp facilities, and staffing to maintain camp systems (shower, kitchen organization, freezer, generator, solar power system for radios, potable water, washing water, outhouses, etc.).  The minimum booking is for 3 days.  Additional fees will be calculated for requested kayak rental, guiding services, interpretive programming, local water taxi use, or transportation arrangements to Kyuquot.

Please provide ample advance notice for any menu requests so that we can make all of the necessary arrangements and get your food to this remote location.

“Speaking as parents of the Bride, this has been one of life’s Great Experiences, and a really beautiful launching – Thank you WCE for your part in providing such a joyful (& comfortable) occasion
– and excellent organization so unobtrusively delivered.”
