Fact Sheet for JBLM

Quick Facts

Who: Approximately 30 Active-Duty JBLM Service Members and their families. Please note: Single-parent families or families where the military spouse is deployed or in training may also apply to attend.

What:​ Military Family Adventures at Malibu Club. The purpose of this week is to provide a spiritually resilient family camp focusing on the Christian faith. People join us who worship via numerous denominations, and we respect their choices. We do not talk about any specific denomination.

There will be a nightly program with a short message, singing and a comedy skit, as well as numerous recreational activities. Activities include water-skiing, wakeboarding, tubing, kayaking, ropes course, heated swimming pool, hiking, basketball, paddle boarding, sand volleyball, disc golf and a playground. There will be a daily itinerary for group activities, but it is not mandatory to participate in all activities. Childcare is available on site during scheduled activities.

When: August 13-20, 2024

Where: Malibu Club is a private resort located on the Princess Louisa Inlet about 100 miles north of Vancouver, Canada. Luxury buses will transport families from JBLM to Canada where we will board a private ferry to travel the last portion of our journey. ​

Why:​ To allow Service Members and their families to get away from the stress of everyday life, spend quality time together, laugh a lot and be restored.

How Much: Thanks to anonymous and generous donors, you pay only a small registration fee for your entire family for the week. This fee covers all meals at the resort, activities, lodging and round-trip transportation for the family for the week. The registration fee is based on rank: E1-E5 – $50; E6-E9 – $75; CW1-O3 – $100; O4 and above – $150.
