Thank you for your willingness to serve as Yacht Host at Malibu this summer. It is our sincere hope that you will find this to be an opportunity for incredible ministry, community, and growth in your faith.

Malibu Club Camp Staff (Appendix) are committed to the service theme and standards of Young Life camping, and are here to support you in providing for your guests.

SERVICE THEME

We care for people by preparing a place where Christ changes lives.

SERVICE STANDARDS

Safety - protecting the well-being of our guests

Service - anticipating and responding attentively to the needs of our guests

Attention to Detail - ensuring excellence in the activities and settings of our property

Efficiency - appropriately using our resources


There are two main modes of travel to get to Malibu, flying by float plane or driving to Egmont and boarding a boat. Below is the breakdown for both options, as well as border information for those joining us from the USA.

THE US-CANADIAN BORDER

a) Stating Purpose of Travel

When crossing the border into Canada, it is very important to use the correct terminology. Give your reason for entry simply and honestly, “I am going to Malibu to be a part of the Adult Guest Program.” Do not say you are “working at Malibu. “Working” has legal ramifications, and you will face almost certain delays, and possibly denied entry.

b) What Not to Bring Across the Border

It is best not to have any indicators for the Border Services officers so we suggest that you not bring fruits and vegetables across the border.

c) Directions

For maps and crossing time details, see online http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/traffic/border/ Note: All times can vary depending on time of week, day, etc. and departure and arrival times of boats may be different.

d) ID

All individuals over the age of 18 must have a valid Passport or WHTI approved document to cross the border. Please refer to the WHTI website for a list of approved documentation.

WHTI Accepted ID

AIR TRAVEL

All international visitors regardless of country of origin must present a Passport or secure document when entering Canada and the US by air.

If you wish to travel to Malibu by Float Plane from Seattle, you will need to book your ticket yourself with Kenmore Air directly. We have compiled a list of what they will ask you for during the booking process so that you can be prepared.

Information Needed:

Passport #

Expiry date

Full Name as in Passport (must have your original passport on you when on the flight – no passport cards or enhanced DLs)

Date of Birth

Select Where are you going: Malibu Club

Pick dates

# of passengers

Schedule:

Flights only go out of Kenmore Lake Washington to Malibu

It is on the Regular scheduled route

Check in time is 8:00am because of the customs in Canada

The plane leaves at 9:00am from Kenmore

Return flight is also on the Regular scheduled route

Be ready at 11:00 with Luggage on the dock and listening for the plane :)

The plane leaves Malibu between 11:00am and 2:00pm depending on the number of pick ups

Arrival time to Kenmore Air is between 4:00pm and 6:00pm

Trips have been known to take anywhere from 1 hour 40 minutes to 3 hours 30 minutes depending on the number of stops

Feel free to reach out to Emily, or Carol, with Kenmore Air through the Reservations Line. Sometimes they have seasonal help on the phones and it can be challenging, but most of the time it is easy. I believe they are both still on staff there.

LAND AND SEA TRAVEL

Most people decide to drive to Egmont and travel to the Malibu Club by a Malibu organized vessel. Please arrive at the Malibu Landing 1 hour prior to their scheduled boat departure so that you have enough time to get your supplies and belongings loaded onto the boat. be sure to check your email as the Camp Office will send you updates in vessels and departure times. Feel free to email the Malibu Office anytime to check on any changes.

a) Directions to Egmont

If you haven’t been to Malibu before, please see the Travel to Egmont Breakdown (Appendix) for the best route and timing to drive to Egmont.

b) Overnight Accommodations

http://www.kenmoreair.com/

mailto:[email protected]?subject=Yacht%20Host%20Question


Many people traveling to Malibu choose to do all their traveling in one long haul. This is possible, but leaves little room for delays, and can be exhausting. We encourage Hosts to travel to the Sunshine Coast the day prior to the boat departure in order to create a low stress travel experience, and the opportunity to rest well before the week. Please see Sunshine Coast Accommodation Options (Appendix) for overnight options on the Sunshine Coast.

c) Boat Transportation to Malibu

Yacht Hosts, Adult Guests, Doctors, and the Doctors’ families who travel to Egmont will travel to Malibu aboard a vessel assigned to them by the Camp Office. Depending on the week you are coming to Malibu you will be assigned to one of the following vessels.

Malibu Princess – This is Malibu’s flag ship. It is a 375 person passenger ferry that takes a 3 hour scenic tour up the inlet.

Laker/Spirit of Malibu, or other Water Taxi – These are Malibu’s fast transport vessels. They will travel from Egmont to Malibu in a 1 hour to 1.5 hour trip.

While aboard a vessel to Malibu we would appreciate if you could act as a Host for the Adult Guests. Use the time on the vessel to find out about your guests (note: some people may be flying in, you should have this information beforehand from the Camp Office). You will want to let the Camp Director know anything that might be helpful about your guests.

Here are some ways you can enhance the guest’s experience

It can often be an overwhelming day, with the long travel, a new energy and environment, and not knowing what to expect. Seek to provide a welcoming and encouraging experience! Bring a deck of cards to play, or gaze out the window at the beautiful scenery.

The forward lounge on the Malibu Princess (located on the main passenger deck) is available for Adult Guests. Part way through the voyage there will be a Leaders’ Meeting that takes place in this space. Please provide space for that meeting by taking the guests for a leg stretch around the boat or fresh air on the upper deck.

When the Princess has rounded Patrick Point (final stretch about 2.5 hours after leaving the Landing), share with the guests some general things they can expect when arriving to Malibu.

o Invite the Adult Guests to the upper deck for the welcome, but please keep many of the elements a surprise.

o Tell them about the Welcome Tea and orientation shortly after arrival (before dinner) to connect them with those in the Adult Guest program for the week and the Camp Director.

When engaging with guests be aware that there is a wide variety of Young Life involvement, Christian, and non-Christian backgrounds. Our goal is to be sensitive to using terminology that people would understand, be aware of using Young Life-y terms, or Christian-ese language or clichés, without elaborating the meaning for all to understand.


The primary qualification for serving as a Yacht Host is that you are willing to care for people. Whether they are yachters, Adult Guests, Doctors, or a doctor’s child, the Yacht Host is there to facilitate their experience at Malibu.

The job of the Yacht Host is two-fold:

1. Tours: Greeting the yachts and planes that come into camp and sharing the vision of Young Life with any guest to the Camp.

2. Serving the Adult Guest Program: Working with the Adult Guest Hosts in order to make the Camp Doctors and Adult Guests stay at Malibu an enjoyable and comfortable experience.

THE TOUR

The tour of Malibu for yachters does not require extensive knowledge regarding the history of Malibu. While some people will care that the Totem Trader used to be Big Squawka, it won’t affect any lives if you forget that detail. Instead, focus on sharing a warm and hospitable spirit with the guests as you allow them to see firsthand God’s amazing playground that is Malibu. Many more details are provided in this manual, but it is not necessary for you to memorize them all.

SERVING ADULT GUESTS

The simplest way to explain the Yacht Host’s role in serving Adult Guests is to say that the Yacht Hosts are like Work Crew for the Adult Guests. The Adult Guest Host serves as their Young Life Leader and brings them to camp, makes sure they get to where they need to be, etc. The Yacht Host makes sure those events are organized and ready for the Adult Guests.

a) The Adult Guest Tea

The Yacht Host prepares an Adult Tea each day for the Adult Guests. Malibu will provide all of the necessary items for tea beverage service. It is the responsibility of the Yacht Host to provide any snacks (cookies, crackers, veggies, etc.) they would like to serve with the tea. This is not a meal. Malibu feeds people well, so the teas do not need to be fancy or elaborate. The purpose of the tea is to help Adult Guests understand how Malibu works by having different members of the assignment team join the adult guests for tea to share about their role at Malibu.

b) Assignment Team and Adult Guest Party

Each week the Yacht Host facilitates a party for the Adult Guests and assignment team. For many of the assignment team members, this is their best chance to interact with other adults and relax during the week. Many of the married couples will treat this as a date night and look forward to it each week. The Yacht Host is asked to provide a simple selection of party foods for the evening.


PRE-MALIBU COMMUNICATION

Communication is key as there is often a lot of overlap between the Yacht Host and Adult Guest Host. You will receive an email from Malibu with the contact information for the Camp Director, Adult Guest Program participants (including any medical team) for your week.

Prior to your arrival, connect with the Camp Director if possible and the Adult Guest Host couple before you arrive. Establish a connection with each other and start to develop that relationship early as that will help with open communication and understanding once everyone is on-site together. One item you may want to find out is what the theme is for Tableau so you can dress up with the Guests.

It will also be important to discuss with the Adult Guest Host, who will be leading the cabin times for the Adult Guests and Doctors, about how they would like to set up Cabin Time and ask them how you can support them. It is recommended that the Doctors be included in the cabin time with the other Adult Guests.

Be prepared for God to do something new in your life. Pray and be available for God to use and work through you. You never know, maybe one of the Guests or a Doctor will walk into the Kingdom with you by their side during your week here. What an incredible experience to be a part of!

INVOLVEMENT

Yacht Hosts are an integral part of helping Adult Guests feel welcome and included. You can partner with the Adult Guest Host to encourage the Doctors and Adult Guests to go to all the activities. Guests will be scheduled to participate in rides just like campers. Try to get guests excited about dressing up for tableau, too! We would like all our guests to participate as much as possible. Allowing them the space to be involved alongside the kids typically enhances the Guests’ stay and their enjoyment of their week. There will be plenty of opportunities for them to be involved in a variety of ways.

LIFE AT MALIBU

a) Accommodations

Yacht Hosts stay in Sioux, which is one of the original Malibu buildings. It is just off Main Street in the centre of camp and has a spectacular view looking down the Princess Louisa Inlet. The porch provides a great vantage point where you can relax and still see when boats and planes arrive at the Inner Dock.

The Adult Guests stay in the Harbour House which is a floating structure overlooking the Inner Harbour. There are two lounges, one located upstairs, and the second located on the main floor.

The Adult Guest Host couple stays in Suivoolot, unless there is a vacant room for the entire week in Harbour House, then we would move the Adult Guest Host couple down there to be closer to the guests.

The Physician and their family stay on the Suivoolot deck above Main Street.

There may be Property Guests about that week that will join in with the Adult Guest program. If the Property Guests require hosting, you and the Adult Guest Hosts will be asked to provide that support and to include them in the Adult Guest Program.

All Assignment Team and their guests stay in Kanata up on top of the hill by the Frisbee Golf course.


Property Staff stay in residences in separate housing units outside of the main part of camp.

Work Crew and Summer Staff stay in Haida across from Flag Point just outside of the main part of camp.

b) Schedule

A camp schedule will be posted in the upper Harbour House Lounge and in the Suivoolot Lounge and can be referenced in the Office and on Main Street for the day. Stop into the Office to pick up your name tag and schedule upon arrival. Please be sure to keep them private. The element of surprise is an important part of a Young Life Camp experience so campers do not have access to schedules. Please make sure no one takes the schedule down and that guests understand the importance of not sharing scheduling items with campers.

If you lose your schedule or have an issue with your schedule, please come to the Camp Office and speak with the Summer Staff or Admin Intern as they will be able to assist you.

Meet each morning with the Camp Director to discuss the day’s schedule and any special requests. The Camp Director may request that one host attend the morning administrative meeting to discuss the events of the day with the assignment team and camp staff. If you don’t see something on the schedule, have questions, concerns, and/or suggestions talk to the Camp Director or Office.

c) Horn System

Malibu uses a horn system to communicate events. See Malibu Horn System (Appendix) for a complete list. This is good knowledge to have, but you will not be responsible for sounding the horn.

d) Malibu Vocabulary

Malibu has its own set of vernacular to refer to events and locations in camp. See Malibu Vocabulary (Appendix) to familiarize yourself with the terms and locations.

e) Malibu Kitchen

On the day of arrival, you will want to introduce yourself to the Food Service Manager and ask when they are available to familiarize you with what is available to you, and where you can store the food you brought if it does not all fit in the fridges in the Adult Guest Lounges.

The ½ hour before or after all meals is very busy in the kitchen, please try to not enter the Camp Kitchen during this window of time. They will be able to better assist you during the quieter times.

f) Dress

Yacht Host should fit in and blend into the camp. The guest service clothing request is that you either wear something that says Malibu on it, or something clean that is appropriate for what you are doing.

g) Camp Director

It is key that you introduce yourself and get to know the Camp Director, even if you are not familiar with the Assignment Team. Their contact information will be sent to you before you arrive so that you can begin building contact with them.

h) Shopping at Camp

Visa, Mastercard, USD Cash, and CAD Cash are all accepted at the Totem Inn (Snack Shop), Hamilton’s Standard (Coffee Shop), and the Totem Trader (Clothing and Gift Shop). Please note there are very few ATM past Sechelt on the Sunshine Coast, and no ATM’s at Malibu at


all.

UPON ARRIVAL

As you are nearing the dock you can let the Guests know that you will all go together to gather the luggage. All luggage will be unloaded onto the Inner Deck.

You can assist guests in finding their housing by picking up a housing list from the Camp Office on Main Street. Once the guests are heading in the right direction, take your luggage to Sioux which is pretty much right across from the Office on Main Street. If someone needs assistance with their luggage, please inform the Office and they will find some able bodies to help.

Check the Adult Lounges in the Harbour House and make certain that your container(s) or cooler(s) have safely arrived. Take this time to put the food in the appropriate places and organize the spaces for your convenience. Make yourself at home!

You will probably put your first tea on within a half-hour of your arrival. It should be on the schedule, let the Guests and the Adult Guest Hosts know when it will be. The previous Yacht Hosts typically set this set up for you; however, you may want to add a little flair of your own if needed.

Some guests might be arriving by float plane, if you hear a plan approaching please go to the Inner Dock and greet whoever is arriving. Usually, it will be a guest for the week, but there will be times when visitors will pop in for a quick (often unannounced) tour of the camp.

Make sure the Adult Lounge is stocked and clean, with furniture ready for the next event and garbage emptied. The following supplies should be available

Paper Cups (for hot & cold drinks), napkins

Tea, coffee, cream and sugar

Clean tea towels (in cupboard or available from Nook)

CLUB

Young Life club, at every step, illustrates Jesus’ declaration in John 10:10 – “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” It’s not just the message about Jesus at the end; it’s the skits, games, and music too.

Club will be held in Sequoia, our club room located up by the gym.

ADULT TEAS

Adult Teas are held 3 to 5 times during the week, and you will need to have one prepared for the last day so it is available and ready to go for the new in-coming Yacht Hosts who arrive the day you depart. Check with the Adult Guest Hosts what they would like the time to look like. The Adult Teas are held in the Harbour House Lounge or on the Harbour House dock. Tea and coffee, milk and sugar, and other basic condiments will be available for you at camp through the Malibu Kitchen.

Preparation for the teas ahead of time will be helpful. If a tour is not taking place right after lunch, this is a good time to prepare and have things wrapped and put in the refrigerator and/or prepared and covered to be put in the cupboard. If the tour is a small group, one person can be preparing while the other gives the tour. This way you won’t feel so rushed in the afternoon. Early morning is also a good time for preparation. There is a refrigerator in the Harbour House Lounge.

a) Suggestions for the First Tea


You might want to take the opportunity during the first tea to let the Guests briefly know what your role as Yacht Host entails. You can tell them you are here to serve them and that you will be disappearing now and then to do a tour for a boater. Treating them as though they were a guest in your home makes them feel far more comfortable.

b) Food Purchases and Planning

You will have one refrigerator in the Harbour House Lounge to store any refrigerated or frozen items you purchase. If you need more room please let us know.

Remember when purchasing food for Adult Teas or the Adult Guest & Assignment Team party that they do not need to be a meal. These gatherings are to extend hospitality to guests and staff and create an environment for socializing and fellowship. These events can be simple.

Some Yacht Hosts prefer to shop at Costco. There are a few on the way to Malibu between the US border and the ferry. Check the web link to the Costco Canada site for easy shopping in and around Burnaby at http://www.costco.ca/en/CA/Warehouse/locator.aspx for directions. It would be easier crossing the border without fresh produce in your vehicle.

You may wish to bring a cooler or cold storage bags with you to keep perishables fresh en route to camp. If you indicate on your boxes or bags of food that they are for the Adult Guest Lounge then they will be delivered to the Harbour House lounge for you on Boat Day.

RIDES

Guest Services will schedule Rides (Giant Swing, Banana Boat, Zip Line) and The Adult Guest Host will receive a ride schedule after Breakfast on Day 2 and will be responsible to get their guests involved in the camp activities throughout the week. It may not be possible during ‘short stay’ weeks to get everybody a shot at each ride. Also, if people miss their time slot it may not be possible to re-schedule them. Post the pertinent information on the door in the Adult Guest Lounge. Adult Guests are usually scheduled at the end of the week because it is important that the campers get through all of the rides first.

If there are any questions or concerns about rides, speak with the Camp Director. Also note to half-week guests that they will not be able to do all rides. Many times this is their desire but it ends up being at the expense of the campers.

FREE TIME

Adult Guests are welcome to participate in the Free Time activities. They may swim in the pool when a Lifeguard is on duty, paddle board or kayak, play Frisbee golf, go on a scheduled hike to Inspiration Point, and so much more. See what the kids are doing, and join in! Encourage the guests to participate in activities alongside campers during the free time hours listed on the schedule, as access and certified supervision is limited. Each day is full, so emphasize utilizing that scheduled free time!

ASSIGNMENT TEAM MEETINGS

Each morning, at least one of the Hosts are welcome to participate in the morning staff meeting. The day’s schedule is discussed and there is usually a brief devotion.

LAUNDRY

Unfortunately, there are no regular laundry facilities available for guests. If an unforeseen event should occur and a need for a laundry facility arises, please see our Housekeeping Staff in the Linen Nook to assist you in meeting the needs.

ADULT GUEST CAMP TOUR

The purpose of this tour is to give Adult Guests a glimpse “behind the scenes” at Malibu and to

http://www.costco.ca/en/CA/Warehouse/locator.aspx


walk them through the 5 Year Plan. Create a sense of adventure and help facilitate a great Malibu experience. Harold Richert (Camp Manager) and the Camp Director will arrange a camp tour.

ADULT GUEST AND ASSIGNED TEAM PARTY

The Yacht Hosts head up the planning of the Adult Guest Party before you arriving at camp. This typically includes the Assigned Team, Doctors, Adult Guest Hosts and Adult Guests, and sometimes the Camp Staff. This is a party for the Assigned Team to mingle with the Adult Guests. This is a lot of work for the Yacht Host but a great blessing to be able to serve the Assignment Team and Adult Guests.

TABLEAU

Tableau is a themed night in camp. Campers will be surprised by a “frozen” scene that includes the entire work staff and program team in a certain theme. A themed dinner or desert will follow the Tableau scene. Each program team decides the theme of their Tableau (pirates, 80’s western, etc.). Malibu will work to communicate with the AG Host the theme of Tableau for your week Host. Please be sure to communicate this theme to your guests. It is a good idea to bring extra costume pieces to help include those who don’t have something to wear.

CLUB MALIBU DINNER

On the last night of the week we enjoy a special dinner with entertainment either on the Inner Deck or in the Dining Hall. This is an evening to wear that nice outfit you packed, but clean and casual is the general attire.

A SAMPLE DAY IN CAMP

1. Be aware of what the Adult Guests / Doctors and campers are doing throughout the day. Make notes on your schedule.

2. Make sure the daily schedule is correct and posted in the Adult Guest Lounge.

3. Visit the Harbour House Lounge before or after breakfast. Check to see if you can help people with anything, ask them how they slept, and make a list of supplies you need for the kitchen (milk, sugar, tea or coffee, clean towels, tablecloths, etc.) Set out snack food for the guests to eat during the day. Zip lock bags can be used for carrying snacks with them.

4. During meals sit with the Adult Guests who will be seated together in the upper section of the dining room.

5. Prepare the food for the tea & store in the refrigerator.

6. Be prepared to give tours from 10 am - 4 pm or any other time a Harbour Master calls you on the radio.

7. Daily tea is 30 minutes. Set food out for the tea. Greet Guests, serve coffee, tea, cold drinks, and food.

8. Make sure the Adult Guest Lounge is always clean and ready to welcome the Adult Guests. Wash all the dishes used and put away, clean the kitchen counters, & wash out the coffee maker.

9. Attend Club and sit with Adult Guests.

10. Last task of the day: get the coffee pot ready before you go to bed. Tell the guests that the first one up in the morning can plug it in. This is also a good time to check to see if any supplies need to be replenished for the next day. Check in the refrigerators and


make certain that everything is covered and stored properly.

END OF WEEK CHANGEOVER

Please communicate to the Camp Doctors & Adult Guests on their last evening that we'll need their help the next morning to prepare for the incoming guests as our Work Crew need to begin cleaning the rooms.

All luggage needs to be taken to the Inner Dock before breakfast. There will be signs and Staff on the dock to assist with placement. If it is raining, there will be tarps, so please encourage guests to still take their luggage down to the dock if they are concerned about the rain. Hand luggage may be left in the Suivoolot Lounge for physicians and the Harbour House Lounges for Adult Guests, depending on which is closest to their accommodations.

Remember to get things ready for the incoming Yacht Hosts:

1. Tea ready to go for their first tea.

2. Food and refrigerator cleaned up.

3. Sheets on wall listing the staff for the week.

4. Write a quick note in the Yachts binder to the incoming Yacht Hosts and encourage them in their week at Malibu.


Yacht Hosts serve as the primary point of contact for yachters and airplane tourists at Malibu. For over 50 years, Malibu has been providing a warm greeting to these guests and sharing with them the vision of Young Life.

Whenever you see a boat or plane arriving at the Inner Dock, please head down to find out who is arriving. If a boat or plane arrives when you are out of view, the Camp Staff will contact you via radio. You will be provided a two-way radio for this purpose. They run on rechargeable batteries and the charger is located in your cabin. In order to charge the battery, the radio needs to be turned off before being placed in the charger.

How you give a tour of Malibu is entirely up to you. The following is simply one way you can arrange the tour. Circumstances may dictate the order and direction you take a group.

Welcome the yachters to Malibu, introduce yourself, find out some names and where they are from, and ask if they have visited Malibu before. Please ask them to stay together as a group. If the group has a dog, please request that they keep it in the boat.

Reminder: Yachters may not tour the camp alone. All visitors, whether they have been here before or not, must be escorted by Yacht Hosts at all times so stay with them the entire time. We have minors on-site and we want to be sure we are taking their security seriously.

Sunshine Coast Tours and other tour boats often have larger groups of people and typically only have 20 minutes to tour camp.

STATION ONE – INNER DOCK BY INFO SIGN

a) Explain Young Life

Young Life is an international, non-denominational Christian organization geared to teenagers. It is active in over 54 countries around the world. The Malibu Club is one of 25 properties in North America and has been in operation as a camp since 1954, the second oldest Young Life Camp.

Young Life has full time staff and volunteers who take the effort to befriend high school students and volunteer in high schools all across Canada and the US. These leaders get a group of kids together and bring them to camp, share the week with them and then go home and continue to be involved in their lives. Young Life believes in bringing a kid to camp, not sending them, so the kids come with leaders from their areas that have friendships with them. That is often a major difference between Young Life camps and many church camps. We get a full gamut of kids and Young Life is for your average high school student whether they have ever been to church or not.

Approximately 375 kids and leaders come to Malibu each week for 11 weeks of the summer (4,000 each summer), mostly from high schools across the US. Young Life Canada has decided to take Canadian students to RockRidge Canyon in Princeton, BC. In the shoulder season of May and September Malibu hosts adult and family retreats, as well as some private schools. Malibu is available for rental groups over 20 participants during this time.

b) History of Malibu (Appendix)

Totem Pole: one of the largest in BC carved by Joe Matthias a chief from a native band. It tells the story of Tom Hamilton’s life and features Tom at the bottom with a three bladed variable pitch propeller on his chest!

Games room: new in 1990 with pool, foosball, ping-pong and air hockey tables


Sioux Cottage: one of the original cabins

STATION TWO – CROSSROADS (HEAD ALONG LOWER RAMP BY HARBOUR HOUSE)

If possible, start talking about the locations as you walk along the lower ramp beside the water from the Inner Deck. Stop at Crossroads to continue discussing the Gymnasium.

a) Sitka

Boys Dorm: 8 dorms, capacity ranges from 10-14 boys & leaders each.

Leaders are college/university age or older with leadership training. They are with kids 24 hours a day and are committed to building relationships and friendships with each of these kids. Young Life believes God loves kids extravagantly. Everything done at the camp is done to display this love to kids. From the servers at meals, to linens and towels in their rooms, to beautiful flowers planted by our volunteers.

b) Siwash

Was Tom Hamilton's private cottage.

Has many beautiful Indian pieces and carvings.

Blue square bathtub.

Cabin is now used for male camper housing.

c) Sequoia

It is used for Club, which is something special that happens here every night. The program team and camp speaker lead the campers and leaders in the latest songs, crazy skits and games and then shares a series of talks throughout the week about the basic Christian message. Club happens on a smaller scale in the Young Life areas all across North America on a weekly basis in basements, living rooms and above garages, as leaders share thoughts on their experiences and God’s desire for a relationship with each of us. Here is a good time to share a little about Young Life’s Statement of Faith (Appendix)

It was originally a small private cabin for Tom Hamilton and his wife. It was rebuilt in 2017.

d) Harbour House

The Harbour House is the accommodation for the Adult Guest Program.

Adult guests are often donors, committee members, principals or teachers of schools that come to observe a week at camp and capture the vision for Young Life. They are invited and sent by a Young Life Area.

e) Gymnasium and Tilikum

The gymnasium was started in the fall of 2000 and completed in 2003. Total cost of the project is $1,200,000 CDN. It has room for three volleyball courts with a small weight room in the mezzanine and is a welcome addition to the program team for rainy days. Also the site of Hockey Night in Canada – played at midnight once a week by Interns and SS.

Tilikum is Intern housing (houses 20). Built in 1991, remodelled in 2014.

f) Laundry/ Linen Nook

All linens are provided by the camp so our camper guests only bring their personal gear


to camp. All laundry is done at Malibu including 500 sets of sheets and 1000 towels weekly.

g) Hydro Plant

Provided by hydroelectric plant across Jervis. 600kW of power run across

Underwater cable providing energy for all of camp’s needs. Completed in June 2005 the hydro plant eliminates the noise and air pollution of the generators. Total project cost was $3.5 million CDN.

Prior to hydro-electricity was supplied by diesel generators (125 kW and 113 kW backup). During the summer fuel consumption was almost 200 Imperial gallons a day, and the cost of fuel was over $160,000 a year.

h) Lillooet

Camper housing. Remodelled Spring 2001 and 2 camper dorms remodelled on the back side in 2014. Flexes between girls/boys depending on that week’s camper #s.

STATION THREE – MAIN STREET BY HAMILTON’S AND WASHROOMS

Guest are welcome to use the washrooms, although you may ask them to wait until you are finished the tour and then they can use the facilities and shop in the stores if they are open.

a) Main Street

Main Office – a satellite phone system is used. This is the Administration Office and the Camp Office.

Medicine Man: two Doctors (and their families) come and volunteer for a week providing any required medical services.

b) Suivoolot Deck

Sechelt traditional name for the Princess Louisa Inlet meaning "warm, sunny place"

During the 1940's they rented for about $60/day and were the penthouse suites

They were left as Hamilton had them and are now used for our Camp Physician and property/development guests.

Was originally the library, then was Little Squawka used for small group meetings and Program preparation for Club and Walk-ons.

Renovated in 2018 to become the coffee shop, Hamilton’s.

d) Totem Trader

Was originally the ballroom at Malibu during Hamilton's days. Live bands were flown in from Seattle and Vancouver to entertain the guests.

Was the Club Room for 64 years, called Big Squawka. Big & Little Squawka were named after rivers.

e) Lounge (Old Totem Trader)

George Straith was a fine clothier in the 1940's and 1950's and his family still maintain a shop in the Hotel Vancouver. The old Trader was one of his 3 shops. Bing Crosby and Bob Hope were among the patrons of this store.

Remodelled in 2019. Now a place for campers to play games and hang out.


f) Totem Inn/Bead Cabana

The Totem Inn is a snack shop where kids can buy homemade ice cream, slushies, hot food and soft drinks during their free time. This is a new building built during the winter of 2004-2005.

Bead Cabana moved upstairs in 2019. This space used to be Hamilton’s.

STATION FOUR – CORNER OF DINING HALL OVERLOOKING POOL

a) Kitchen

New kitchen built during the winter of 2005-2006.

b) Dining Room

Please do not take them inside

Work Crew eats early, then waits on tables for campers.

Lower level was added by YL in the early 1960’s. The main dining hall was for fine dining – jacket and tie were required attire.

Dining hall was completely renovated and expanded by over 50% during winter of 2005-2006 to provide more space. The dining hall can now seat 350 comfortably for a meal and is winterized for year-round use.

c) Smokers' Pit

Malibu is constructed entirely of wood. A fire would be devastating. Smokers' Pit is the one and only place where people are allowed to smoke on the property.

d) Swimming Pool

Original pool was blasted out of the rocks in 1959 and filled with salt water. It was converted to fresh water in early 70’s and was rebuilt in 1997.

With completion of hydro project, pool is now heated to 85 degrees.

e) Malibu Rapids

The rapids can run 8 - 10 knots, and have spun many boats around.

Tide can drop up to 13 feet in Princess Louisa Inlet.

STATION FIVE – FAR CORNER OF DINING HALL

*If camp is in session please stop here and turn back towards Main Street, if no campers are at camp (not possible if you are a Yacht Host in the summer) you may take guests around the Nootka Deck back to the Office stairs.*

a) Forbidden Island

Forbidden Island was an Indian burial ground. It is still owned by the Sechelt Indian Band. We respect that space and no one is allowed on it.

b) Sechelt

Upper Sechelt (above dining hall) is used as a girls' dorm (houses 18) and was renovated in 1999.

c) Foc’sle

Foc’sle (houses 18) is under the Nootka Dorm and was remodelled in 2000.

d) Capilano


Capilano (houses 26) houses girls most weeks, and used to be male SS quarters.

e) Golf Course

A pitch and putt course was beautifully landscaped out of the side of the mountain by Hamilton in the 40’s – was originally 18 holes.

As times changed we found that most campers were heading out there with Frisbees, so we turned it into a Frisbee Golf Course around 2001.

f) Nootka

The building is the girls' dorm. It was completely rebuilt in 2014.

10 dorms of 12-14 girls with 2 leaders in each room.

g) Haida

The original Haida was formerly the Mali-Bar and was torn down in the fall of 2010. The new Haida is the work staff housing for both male and female WC & SS. It can house about 96 depending on the configuration.

Every four weeks Malibu also has a turnover of approximately 90 volunteers that come to serve for one session or month. There are approximately 45 Work Crew, which are high school students that have usually been to a camp as a camper the summer before, 38 Summer Staff, which is usually college age students that work and fill some of the jobs that take a bit more responsibility such as lifeguarding and boat driving.

h) Kanata

Assignment Team Housing

The Assignment Team is often full time YL staff or volunteers that come up and help coordinate the Work Crew and Summer Staff, organize the weekly schedule, direct activities and games and share the gospel at Club.

During the School Season, Kanata is available for rentals. It is beautifully finished and has a large kitchen and Great Room. There are 21 rooms with a maximum capacity of 50.

i) Other little cabins

The Malibu Club has a small full-time staff of 10 and families that live at camp year-round. They live in residences behind the gym, and some of the little cabins past Haida toward Lighthouse Point.

Point out McCannel Creek across the Inlet where the Hydro Power is generated from and transferred via a submersible cable to our Power House. It provides 600 kilowatts.

j) End of Tour (head back to the Trader ramp towards the dock)

Invite them to shop at the Trader and Inn if they are open or use the washrooms if needed.

Thank them for coming.

Escort them to their boat. Visitors must be escorted by Yacht Hosts at all times so please ensure they return to their boat. We have minors on-site and we want to be sure we are taking their security seriously.

See Recent Construction Projects (Appendix) for a complete list of projects.


SATELLITE PHONE

Malibu has two satellite phone lines. Charges are based on minutes used. There are no long distance charges so a calling card is not necessary. We ask that you limit your phone usage to urgent matters and to calls under 5 minutes. Individuals are charged $0.50 for each minute of the call. The phone is available during regular camp office hours. If you or your guests have an emergency matter arise when the office is closed, please contact a camp staff or the Camp Director for after-hours assistance.

SATELLITE INTERNET

Malibu has very limited Internet access via satellite. There is no internet access for guests. Please contact the Admin Manager if you have any questions or concerns.

Tom Hamilton was an aircraft engineer and pioneer in the field of aviation. He was involved in the beginnings of both United and Western Airlines and also owned the Beverly Hills Hotel. Much of his money came from the purchase (from a Canadian inventor) of the patent to the variable pitch propeller. The Hamilton Standard Propeller Company had a monopoly on this invention, and made millions.

During the 1930's Tom Hamilton purchased a yacht called “Malibu” that had been built in the Boeing shipyard in Vancouver, BC. Soon afterward Hamilton cruised into the Princess Louisa Inlet, and he was so taken by its beauty that he bought 10,000 acres from the BC Government at $20.00 an acre. This included everything from sea to sky except a 46 acre parcel at Chatterbox Falls (purchased earlier by Jim MacDonald) and a 26 acre parcel at the rapids owned by a German hand logger named Herman Casper.

The original plan was to build a summer home on Hamilton Island for Mrs. Hamilton. Tom had bigger dreams and purchased the point from Herman for $500.00. In 1940 Hamilton began building a yacht club for the wealthy upper class, particularly the Hollywood crowd. As many as 50 men were employed by Mr. Hamilton during construction. Craftsmen were brought from as far away as the Netherlands to work on the project. Although WW II caused a break in the proceedings, the project was completed in 1946, shortly after the end of the war. The end result was The Malibu Club in Canada – a world class resort for the rich and famous.

No expense was spared: silverware was embossed with a Totem and all of the crockery was custom made with Indian motifs. Blankets and towels were all embroidered with Malibu Club or Malibu Yachts. A fleet of over 50 ships and seaplanes were available up and down the Pacific Coast for charter into the Malibu Club.

Promotional artwork from the 40’s show a Swiss style ski village nestled on Mt. Hamilton – who knows if this was ever seriously contemplated! It is rumoured that Hamilton wanted to dam the Princess Louisa and create a fresh water lake. He also named the peak east of Malibu, Mt. Hamilton. It has been changed back to its original name of “One Eye" and is one of 8 mountains climbed by the Beyond Malibu program.

The Malibu Club operated from 1946 until 1950. Guests could dine overlooking the rapids, dance the night away on the dance floor in Big Squawka, play a round of golf on the golf course, shop in the George Straith and Company store or swim in the inlet from the sand beach shipped in especially for the Malibu Club.

Due to a decrease in business, financial losses, problems with domestic help, legal problems and a scare of the serious disease, polio, Malibu was abandoned by Hamilton in 1950. Garbage was left in sinks, food in pots on the stoves, and beds unmade. A 115 foot yacht was left in the harbour with hatches open. It sunk over the winter, and the remains are still on the ocean floor below.

In 1953, Jim Campbell (a Young Life Committee member from Seattle) flew Jim Rayburn (founder and president of Young Life) into Malibu. Rayburn announced that Malibu would be Young Life’s next camp before he even landed!

Tom Hamilton was asking $1,000,000 for Malibu: a fantastic sum in those days. Young Life eventually acquired Malibu for $300,000 with donations from interested people (see page 31, Young Life book).

Malibu has been operating as a Young Life resort for high school student since 1954. The first camp had 9 guests - 7 girls and 2 boys! Over the past 60 summers over 100,000 teenagers have experienced the greatest week of their lives at the Malibu Club.

Malibu currently occupies 26 acres, except for Lighthouse Point, which is owned by the Sechelt Indian Band. Another 140 acres by Beyond base camp and 626 acres across the rapids, by the mill (most of the mountain facing the Louisa), and the 8 acres of Outer Dock land purchased in 2010 are also owned by YL Malibu Ministry Affiliates. All of this land, except for the 140 acres by Beyond, was part of the original purchase from Hamilton for $300,000.


Preamble

We the members of the Young Life mission — trustees, staff, instructors at Young Life schools and volunteers — join together in our affirmation of the following articles and our central purpose of proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ and introducing adolescents everywhere to Jesus Christ and helping them grow in their faith.

Article I

The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments being given by divine inspiration are the Word of God, the final and supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

Article II

In the Scriptures, God reveals Himself as the living and true God, Creator of all things. Perfect in love and righteous in all His ways, this one God exists eternally as a Trinity of persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Article III

God made man and woman in His image that He might have fellowship with us. Being estranged from God by our disobedience, we are, as sinful people, incapable of a right relationship to God apart from divine grace.

Article IV

The only Mediator between God and all human beings is Jesus Christ our Lord, God’s eternal Son, who as man fully shared and fulfilled our humanity in a life of perfect obedience.

Article V

By His death in our place, Jesus revealed the divine love and upheld divine justice, removing our guilt and reconciling us to God. Having risen bodily from the dead and ascended into heaven, He rules as Lord over all and intercedes for us as our great high priest.

Article VI

The Holy Spirit, through the proclamation of the Gospel, renews our hearts, persuading us to repent of our sins and confess Jesus as Lord. By the same Spirit, we are led to trust in divine mercy, whereby we are forgiven all our sins, justified by faith through the merit of Christ our Savior, adopted into God’s family as His children and enabled so to live in the world that all people may see our good works and the Gospel of grace at work in our lives and glorify our Father who is in heaven.

Article VII

God, by His Word and Spirit, calls us as sinful people into the fellowship of Christ’s body. Thus He creates the one holy, catholic and apostolic church, united in the bonds of love, endowed with the gifts of the Spirit and summoned by Christ to preach the Gospel and to administer the sacraments, to carry on the ministry of reconciliation, to relieve human need and to strive for social justice.

Article VIII

God’s redemptive purpose will be consummated by the return of Christ to raise the dead, judge all people and establish His glorious kingdom. Those who are apart from Christ shall be eternally separated from God’s presence, but the redeemed shall live and reign with Him forever.
