History
Kwomais Camp is located at Ocean Park on Semiahmoo Bay near White Rock, B.C. The first church camp was held there in 1910 under the auspices of the Methodist Church. The Church bought the property in 1913 and it was the first church-owned campsite in B.C. The camp, known originally as Ocean Park Camp, became interdenominational in 1916. BC Conference sold the camp to the City of Surrey in September 2007 for use as a city park.
